I made this for a shower recently and everyone loved it! I doubled the recipe to make sure that I had enough and only used 4 garlic cloves for the doubled amount. Delicious! I liked it even better than traditional, garbanzo bean hummus. I didn’t need all of the oil called for – I just added it to the food processor until the hummus reached the desired consistency. I sprinkled a little smoked paprika on top to add a little extra color and liked the slightly smoky flavor it added. Great recipe that I will be adding to my collection. Thanks!

Ok, I debated over 3 or 4 stars. It was really good, but WAY TOO GARLICKY! I doubled and used 3 small cloves and it was still TOO much and I love garlic! I’d go with 1 small clove per batch. I would make again that way.

I’ve made this recipe a dozen times and still love it. Sometimes I use garbanzo beans instead of white beans but it’s just as tasty. I do cut back on the garlic a bit – one large clove or two smaller ones. This has become a staple snack in our fridge. Thank you for sharing!!

Great recipe! Did not have basil, but substituted cilantro. We will definitely repeat this one.

In Israel, where I live, hummus is a staple food which we frequently eat together with techina. Your recipe looks wonderful, we will give it a try. I especially like your pita chips for scooping up the hummus.

We loved this but is SUPER garlicky and that was with only 2 cloves of garlic instead of the listed 4. A lot of heat from the raw garlic flavour too. Maybe American garlic is more mild than here or something? Love the recipe otherwise and will definitely be making again but with altered amounts of garlic

I made this for myself for lunch/dinner whilst preparing other dishes for the holiday tomorrow. Thank you Monique! I almost ate it all! Very tasty and lighter than hummus with garbanzo beans. Used store bought pita chips but can’t wait to try yours.

I love white bean hummus – this recipe looks delish!
