I sometimes add sun dried tomatoes to mine (after I've soaked them in water). Also a little lemon juice gives it zing! ;D

If you're not wanting to add the bean liquid, you can also add in a little yogurt. Cooking Light has a recipe for what they call "Chickpea Dip" (  ) that has 1/4 cup yogurt in it. The recipe is remarkably similar to the one below and tastes just like hummus. Oh, and another possible spice to include is paprika! Very tasty. |

Hey, I've got a really good recipe I love as well, which is similar.
Hummus
******
1 can chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 lemon, quartered segments like an orange
1 clove garlic, minced
1 TBSP tahini (sesame seed butter)
2-3 TBSP minced cilantro
1 tsp ground cumin
salt & pepper to taste (I like a lot of pepper)
There isn't a lot of liquid in this recipe, so it's much easier with a hand-held blender. Peel and pick out the seeds in the lemon wedges with a knife. Blend until smooth. (If using a blender, start with the lemon at the bottom to make the ingredients blend smoother.)
Makes a very flavourful, thick hummus. I keep organic tahini in the fridge just for this recipe.
Green hummus dip
***************
Hummus recipe above (omit the cilantro)
Add 2 cups packed fresh spinach to the blender
This is a vivid-green dip that looks wonderful and is excellent with vegetable crudites as a mini-meal. The spinach makes the dip milder and more creamy.

Tahini is not core so you would have to count points for it.
