I was never really into hummus before but thought I'd give it a try. I wanted something a little healthier to snack on. I'm glad I decided to try it. I can't wait for my husband to try it, he loves when I make new recipes and I know he will love it. I will definitely make this again!

Very refreshing... I added 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp of balsamic, and skipped the soy sauce...

I made this exactly as written and found it extremely bland. I'm used to more traditional tahini-based hummus with parsley and lemon juice, but had a lot of basil to use up and thought I'd give it a whirl. Ended up adding some tahini, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and extra basalmic, and the end result was better, but still not my favorite.

I think this is a good idea in theory, but not the best recipe. I ended up adding extra basil, garlic, and olive oil, plus some lemon juice, parmesan, and pine nuts.

Yum. All i did was double the balsamic, soy sauce and olive oil and it came out excellent. Hubby liked it too. Might be my fav so far. Yum!

Delicious, unique hummus. I had some fresh basil to use up and this was a great use for it. Like other reviewers, I added some lemon juice, plus a little extra oil and water to achieve a smoother texture. I also added a dash of hot sauce for a little added dimension. Thanks, Dan, for an easy and tasty recipe!

I wish that I could give this waaaaay more than 5 stars! This was by FAR the best hummus recipe I've ever encountered and let me tell you, I live, eat and BREATHE hummus! I was incredibly skeptical at the lack of tahini paste, however, this hummus didn't need it one bit. Also didn't ned the lemon juice people commented about. If you're looking for a little more "zing" simply double up on the soy sauce and basalmic. If you find it too dry, add some water (tastes the same, no calories!) Thanks for an incredible recipe!
