Hummus Dish Varieties
Hummus is a special food spread that is made from mashed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and garlic. This spread is highly popular in the Middle East. It has, however, recently taken off around the world and become a favorite among people who want a different kind of spread for their sandwiches and dip for their chips. In addition to having a strikingly exotic and rich flavor, hummus also contains nutrients that are good for the body. It is high in iron, calcium, and Vitamin A*. Hummus is a highly versatile spread that can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways.
Endless Possibilities for How to Eat Hummus
Hummus dishes can be served as appetizers or as entrees, depending on the size and the accompanying ingredients. Cover your sandwich with hummus instead of mayonnaise, or refrain from dressing on your salad in favor of a helping of hummus. Bagels and toast in the morning taste even better with hummus, instead of cream cheese or jam. But hummus possibilities go beyond these examples: Top it with chicken or your choice of fish and throw in a pita, and it becomes all the more delightful.
