I love hummus and i've been toying with a few different flavors lately, all of which include greek yogurt instead of tahini.

I don't have anything bad to say about tahini. I just don't have it on hand for whatever reason.

What better substitute than my good old friend greek yogurt!

I made this particular version just yesterday for my mother and I as sort of a snacky lunch.

As per the usual, when I mentioned to my mom what I was making and that I was in fact not using tahini, she immediately began to question me. "Hummus isn't hummus without tahini!"

Alright, alright. Just take a few bites.

She loved it.

This is actually remarkably similar to guacamole - just a bit lighter!

I think next time that I may add in some diced tomatoes or maybe even a jalapeño!
