Hummus is a middle eastern dip or spread made with boiled chickpeas, garlic and olive oil and is usually eaten with pita bread. One of the most popular ways of eating hummus is with falafel wraps. Soft pita bread+creamy hummus+ crispy falafel+ crunchy veggies! I am dreaming of a falafel sandwich already.
Speaking of pita bread, I have this amazing whole wheat pita bread on the blog which you must try. Soft and pillowy pita bread is great for scooping hummus and other crunchy vegetables to make delicious sandwiches.
I have had hummus at so many restaurants in India but home-made hummus is much more delicious and creamier. I mean there's really no comparison, it's that good! Go ahead and customise this hummus according to your liking. You can add basil, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers- so many different variations of hummus can be tried. I also have this Green goodness coriander hummus on blog which is a flavour bomb.
One of my favourite ways of enjoying hummus is smearing it over crisp toasted bread topped with fresh tomato-onion salsa. You can even make healthy sandwiches, tacos like this Grilled vegetable tacos with hummus and even delicious pasta with hummus. My other favourite way of eating hummus is with vegetable crudites (crunchy raw vegetables). Its an amazing snack and a great appetiser for entertaining guests.
Easy and quick to make. Oh and very very high in proteins.
