... containing 200g. The packaging is the usual Sainsbury's Basics white and orange, and is nothing particularly exciting. It states that there is 'less tahini, still great for dipping'. Tahini is quite expensive, so using less in this product will help to keep the price down.
When the cardboard outer layer is removed, the houmous is contained in a round plastic tub, with a thin Sellophane lid, which you can't replace properly. It could always be put into a plastic box with a rigid lid, to store until it is eaten, though. The ...more

I really like houmous, and have tried a variety of different ones from the supermarkets, as well as making my own sometimes. It is easy to make, using a tin of chickpeas, some Tahini (Sesame seed) paste, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning. I usually roast the garlic and olive oil in the oven, to soften it, then blend with the other ingredients. Sometimes, I make variations on a chickpea dip, adding onions, peppers or chilli.

Knowing that I like houmous my husband brought me home some Sainsbury's basic houmous to try.

I absolutely love and adore Houmous! I love it with crudites, on sandwiches... all-sorts rally! I saw this 'Basics' one in Sainsburys priced at 75p a tub and was intrigued to try a 'cheap' version of it but right up until the last minute I almost set it aside and didn't purchase it to be totally honest with you cos I did think it would be gross being so cheap! The Packaging.... Clear plastic, round tub with a white cardboard 'sleeve' that slides on and off it. In white and bright orange writing on the top of the sleeve I'm told it's Sainsbury's Basics Houmous 'Less tahini still great for dipping' and there's a scribble in orange of what I assume ...
