My absolute number one dip favorite from the Board is ShellMarr's Artichoke Hummus - it's fabulous. Heather's Smoky Eggplant Hummus in EFI is excellent, too, but more work. For something really unusual, you could try the White Bean and Almond Dip from EFI - I love that stuff.
You can also check out this recent thread for some more ideas. I saw it too late to chime in, but a recent show on the Food Network had some suggestions for spiffing up store-bought hummus. Try adding lemon zest or fresh cilantro or chopped olives or roasted garlic or chopped parsley and red pepper flakes to it.
I also love guacamole - Heather's in EFI is fabulous - and you can check out this post for something much easier (I haven't tried this yet, I just found green Tabasco).
HTH. Enjoy your party.

Being half Lebanese, I'm somewhat of a hummus purist. I'm not really one for all the variations and whatnot. Here's my recipe: web page
If you're going to go with storebought, I like Cedars Lemon variety. It's pretty close to the real thing.

How might I go about getting a copy of this cookbook? I love to try new foods...why not Lebanese?

I followed your recipe and there is a taste that I don't think I care for...it's a strong flavor, one that I don't recall tasting in the Hummus I buy from the store. Do you think it is the tahini?
I might try to make it without the tahini.

How do you store it? Does it ever go bad? I have had some for a couple years now and am afraid to use it again, not sure if it could go bad.
Thanks

I would say try reducing the Tahini, like use 1 TBSP instead of 4 TBSP. Then if you you want it creamier just add more liquid from the chickpeas. I also like a small amount of cumin in mine (like 1/2 - 1 tsp).

Thanks...however mine came from a whole food store (they dipped it out into plastic containers) so no expiration date and also they did not have it refrigerated so I kept mine in the cupboard all this time!!
It don't smell bad, but Yikes,Maybe I should throw it away

No problem, didn't realize how much fat was in it, but I guess it is oil based
I don't usually make mine with Tahini, only add a little when I think of it. This is the recipe I normally use (I like the zest/spiciness of jalepinos, and it is low fat):
Hummus

because that's what my mother does! I'd say the only way it could go bad would be if the oil turned rancid, and you'd definitely be able to smell that. I think if you kept it in the fridge it would coagulate too much and not have the right consistency.

The one I use most was sold at my church about 10 years ago, and I think they just had a small book binding place do it. But, I can reccommend the middle eastern cooking bible. Everyone I know swears by: The Art of Syrian Cookery: A Culinary Trip to the Land of Bible History-Syria and Lebanon (Paperback) by Helen Corey
Check it out on Amazon.com. Most of my mother's recipes come from a combination of this book and my grandmother's tricks.
Hope that helps! Panda
