i don't use salt, and i can pass on tahini too, i don't
notice it being gone by much. if i really want it i have
used it in the past, but decided after doing without that
it was just fine.

i use olive oil, mayo, garlic, lemon juice and chick peas.

i use hummus in a lot of ways. the last time i made it
i left everything mostly chunky and the only thing i mixed
and blended with the stick blender was the garlic, lemon
juice and mayo and then let the olive oil and rest of the
stuff get slightly mixed. it was good so i'll probably do
this for now on because blending the chickpeas up is a
fair amount of work.
