Expert Tips

Garbanzo beans are loaded with fiber—the soluble kind. Add them to your diet slowly so you can get used to the added fiber.

This great-tasting cocktail dip began to show up at parties in the 1970s, perhaps spurred by the growing vegetarian movement or by American travels to the Middle East.

Try a few tablespoons of tahini instead of the sesame seeds. It's the same thing (tahini is sesame paste) but a lot easier and a smoother flavor.

Loved this recipe. I added red pepper flakes for heat and used a toasted tortilla for dipping. Best dip ever. Trying it again today for a snack.

threw this batch away. I love hummus, but the lemon juice is just too much. Plus, when you figure in the cost of the sesame seeds with this recipe you are better off buying hummus at the store.
