Better tasting hummis?

Does anyone know of a hummis that tastes good? I tried some for the very first time this weekend and I have to say, I didn't like the taste at all. I picked up a garlic flavored one, cause I'm addicted to garlic flavors, but it just wasn't for me. I have another roasted pepper one I have yet to try, but didn't know if I would get the same kinda taste from it?

Thanks,

Janet

    i started with the roasted red pepper then garlic and worked my way down to original lol and i LOVE it
    i like the PC brand, but I have also been told the costco's is really yummy and extra smooth!

    you could also try making it for yourself if you were feeling adverturous, there's not a whole lot to it
    can of chick peas and a few ingredients blended together

    i love this girls recipes http://kayotickitchen.com/

    type hummus in the search bar, there's 3 i think that she's done, but her "kay's hummus" looks so yummy!

    bacon flavored?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    just kidding!
    I personally love it, but you might try adding some lemon juice to perk it up a bit if you like acid-y foods.
    My favorite is having some on a romaine lettuce leaf like a green burrito - yum!

    I never really liked hummus until I tried Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, IMO it is the BEST. Also, I only really like hummus with yellow, orange, and red pepper slices. The combination of the two just make it taste delicious!

    I like Tribe All Natural Hummus. The roasted garlic is great and only 50 calories per serving. I like the red pepper too. :happy:

    You could try making your own. All hummus is- is chickpeas, tahini and olive oil- plus whatever you would want to flavor it with :happy:

    As a fellow garlic addict do what I do.....buy a low cal hummus at the store then take some aluminum wrap, add some garlic(no need to peel) spray it with some olive oil spray and roast for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool until you can handle then squeeze the garlic into the hummus-it's beyond yummy & virtually fat free(for the garlic)

    The only brand I will buy now is the Sabra brand.
    My husband is middle eastern, so I've become pretty darn picky when it comes to hummus.

    All of their flavors are terrific-
    This brand is the most authentic to what you will find in the middle east.


    YUMMMMM:tongue:

    I am lucky to have a chef for a husband and he makes great hummus that we eat with grilled veggies. There are several recipes online, amazingly simple if you can buy a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) and you have a food processor or blender you are on you way to hummus your way.

    A lot of commercially made hummus has tahini paste in it, basically toasted sesame seed paste. This is the flavor that a lot of people find off putting, it is a strong flavor and making your own hummus you can eliminate this ingredient and your taste buds might thank you.

    Personally I don't mind tahini, I use it in a couple of recipes. The advantage to making your own hummus is you know whats in it and you can tweak the flavor to suite your personal taste. I highly recommend using it like a veggie dip, like ranch dressing, too. Eating it alone or on pita can be fairly bland . Also, I love the roasted pepper one my husband makes the most so maybe yo uwill have some luck with the other one you purchased. :wink:

    Jospeh's artichoke and spinach hummus for me... I too am picky about it. I had tried several brands and thought I just hated hummus, but Joseph's is good :wink:
