Expert Tips

This great-tasting cocktail dip began to show up at parties in the 1970s, perhaps spurred by the growing vegetarian movement or by American travels to the Middle East.

Serve this melt-in-your-mouth dip like they do in Turkey. Make an indent in the middle of the bowl of hummus, and spoon in 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

    Not bad for my first try. But I will not be adding any salt next time. It was too salty.

    Made the hummus for the first time. I used extra lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. I did put a little chili power in it. It was great and the talk of the night. Easy to make.
