Do you remember when you first tasted hummus? Because I do, and it was a pivotal life moment, guys.
I was studying nutrition in college was elated to learn that this mystical creamy dip was not only good for me, but could be paired with anything (yes, even chocolate…keep scrolling).
A few of the best foods to eat hummus with include using it as a:
- Veggie dip like celery, carrots, broccoli, or cauliflower
- Fruit dip like sliced apples
- Chip dip for pita chips, duh
- Spread on sandwiches and wraps
- Sauce for pastas and salads
And hummus is healthy! The main ingredient in hummus is the nutritious chickpea (otherwise known as the garbanzo bean). Packed with protein, fiber, and iron, this healthy legume recipe is, put simply, the best.
And in the name of showing you all the ways to eat hummus, here are a few of our favorite hummus-containing recipes!
Whereas our other chickpea recipes usually involve the whole bean (looking at you crispy air fried chickpeas), these recipes use its pureed descendent, letting it shine in all its glory. Enjoy!
