This is a great recipe! We ate it at work and loved it! I think I'll substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream next time to see if I like it that way. I used lite sour cream this time and no one even knew! Thanks for helping me stick to my diet with a recipe for my "keeper file".

This is very good! I made it with jarred roasted red peppers and the resulting dip has a bit of a zip that is a bit much heat for us. Not the recipe's fault, it is a great dip, especially in light of the healthiness of it. = ) Served it with some pita chips and fresh veggies. Thanks! ZWT 4 Holiday Challenge

I enjoyed this a lot!!!! I roasted one red bell over my burner on stove top, and chopped that. Soooo good with pita chips! Made for ZWT4.

This was an excellent hummus and so simple to make! I used fresh red pepper and roasted it myself. Made for ZWT4.
