This was my first attempt at making hummus. I didn't have balsamic vinegar so I skipped it. I added a splash of lemon juice, and some paprika (because I love paprika!). I think I added a lot more olive oil than 1 tbsp because it seemed awful dry. Overall it had a really good taste!

This was good and quick. I do agree that lemon juice is necessary. Served with celery and carrots, was a yummy & healthy option next to the other high-fat appetizers that I served.

Love it! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I squeezed half a lemon into it. I make hummus a lot and this one's definitely a keeper!!

This is absolutely delicious, especially served on a slice of homemade french bread!!! I did have a few changes to the recipe, however. First of all, I did not have any balsamic vinegar on hand, so I used red wine vinegar instead. Secondly, while pureeing the mixture, it became very dry, so I added water until it was the desired consistency. Other than those two changes, the recipe was fantastic! I made this for Christmas, and everyone loved it's amazing flavor!

This was excellent! I doubled the garlic, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar for extra flavor. I will definitely make this again and again!

Great recipe! I love both pesto and hummus. Just add a little extra liquid and make sure your food processor is up to snuff. Serve with pita, chips, or celery sticks!

I added a bit more garlic (because I love it!), a bit more oil and vinegar, and a tuch of really hot water to soften it up just a bit. I can't wait for my friends to try it for our Canada Day celebration.

Didn't have fresh basil but did have some pesto that I had prepared with fresh basil. I too thought that the hummus needed more oil to spread well and I also added a tsp or so of lemon juice to brighten the fresh taste. Blended in feta cheese by hand before serving. I took this to an office luncheon and received compliments. Will make this again once I have an abundance of basil from the garden...
