I love the nutty flavor tahini adds to hummus, but it's high in fat. I modified a traditional recipe, slashing the fat while keeping that tahini kick. -Josephine Piro, Easton, Pennsylvania

I'm not a huge fan of hummus, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The lemon flavor was nice and the texture was smooth and creamy.

This hummus was good, but I found it to be a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would prefer a more traditional hummus recipe next time.
