    It's a dip, a spread and it is good stuff! I make my own too!

    sometimes if there's a little leftover I add it to cooked pasta with vegan shredded cheese and unsweetened almond milk or goat yogurt to make a non-cow mac and cheese. Or add it to minestrone. Favorite lunch is a big piece of flatbread spread with hummus and vegetables and rolled up/sliced like sushi.

    I love hummus!!! Thank you, MFP, because it's one of those foods I NEVER would have tried had it not been for this place. I eat it all the time with baby carrots. I've heard it's good with chips too. I've used it in chicken wraps (yum). Pretty much any time you would use a dip (like ranch) you can go for the hummus instead.

    I recently discovered Hummus ... I often get it in these "snack packs" that come with pretzels. I think pita bread is most common with it, but I like it with pretzels (or even veggies) better.

    I make my own.. I've been known to eat it with a spoon. I also use it as a dip for veggies. It also tastes fabulous as a spread on sandwiches or a spread on lettuce wraps. It's also delicious as a bed for some ground beef and fried onions.

    hummus is yummus.

    I eat it with hard boiled egg whites. Sort of like a deviled egg with hummus instead of the yolk mixture. Very tasty!

    I second this!
    If you add a teensy bit of mustard to your hummus and sprinkle with spanish paprika it's even MORE like deviled eggs. Hummus eggs are an AWESOME snack.

    It is basically a cold dip made of chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper... puree in food processor...
    Then get creative and add in other things... one of my favorites is tomato basil hummus :-)

    Use it also as a thick salad dressing with spinach.... any Mediterranean apps and or dishes go great with hummus :-)

    Going to make my first homemade hummus soon. I love tomato and basil!! Do you just eyeball it and add it in at the end? Tell me more lol!

    spread on toasted sprouted grain bread, or dip raw broccoli, cauliflower, and baby carrots in it. I absolutely love all flavor Hummus, been eating it for years. i also sometimes make a chicken and spinach wrap on low carb torts and spread some hummus in it. Great spread with lots of different flavors available. I plan on trying to make my own someday, if i ever get another food processor.

    You don't need one. You can use your blender (if you have one) it is a little more time consuming. However it is worth it because you can control what goes in it.

    I use it for a dip of veggies or any kind of chip/cracker, use as a sandwich spread or on toast, sometimes eat it with a spoon lol. I just recently spread it on chicken breasts and baked them. So good!
