Comments
Just recently I made this Lemony Garbanzo Bean Dip and served with small pita bread wedges and celery. Most everyone really liked it, but a comment I heard more than once was that it could use some salt. Luckily, that's an easy addition to the recipe if you are making it at home.
I was out of sour cream, so I substituted cottage cheese instead with a little water to make it the consistency I wanted. So yummy!
Great subsitution for hummus! Also, kids mentioned that they would like it as a taco topper instead for sour cream-- perfect texture and taste.
WOW!! This recipe is amazing - we love the blended version! It really tastes so much like hummus when you blend it and less calories and fat!! The chunky version tastes good too if you dont have a blender/food processor. We served it with zucchini and carrot rounds -- the sweet carrots tasted a bit better.
this recipe is really good - a great cost-cutting alternative to tahini hummus
