I've been enjoying Aldi's roasted red pepper hummus with some wheat thins. Any other ways to use it other than a dip? It's so good!

    I've read you can make it a dressing for wraps. I haven't done it myself but I love ole high fiber tortillas, 90 calories and add whatever else you want in there!

    I second the wrap idea. I love to spread a tortilla with hummus and add edamame, black beans, baby spinach & avocado. SO good.

    I really hate mayo, so I use hummus in place of mayo on sandiwches, wraps...etc. It is also amazing on a burger!!

    Yup. I use it as either the basis for sandwiches (with raw veg) or as the dressing for sandwiches.

    I use it as dip with fresh cut vegetables. On sandwiches inplace of butter/mayo/mustard or dressings, On wraps and with crackers.

    I use it as a topping for veggie or turkey burgers. I also use it as a dip for raw veggies - baby carrots, snow/snap peas, sliced peppers (red, yellow, orange), cucumbers, celery, etc.

    I agree with the wraps comment. Chicken, cucumber, hummus all rolled into a tortilla. Yum.

    I either use it as a dip or as sandwich filling. It works fairly well for chicken salad in place of mayo or yogurt too.

    Yeah, it makes a great wrap. It's also good as a mayo substitute in egg salad. And I've heard it's good mixed with tuna, though I have yet to try that.

    It's good eaten with a spoon.

    Until recently I've only ever used it for a dip/in a pitta/wrap/sandwich - but I had some that needed using up the other day so I cooked up some pasta, drained it (but kept about 1tbsp of the water) and then added the water to the hummus which forms a creamy sauce, and stirred it into the pasta with some sweetcorn, cherry tomatoes and chopped red pepper. Added a bit of black pepper and it was actually really good!

    I also like it on Morningstar chickpea burgers, on a toasted Sandwich Skinny with thick slices of cucumber and a bit of red onion.

    I put roasted red pepper hummus, spinach, red onion, tomato, cucumber, and a few pieces of feta cheese on a sandwich thin with a few drops of balsamic vinegar (or balsamic vinaigrette) and take that for lunch sometimes. It's delicious!

    I spread it on a tortilla, then reduce the amount of shredded cheese I'd normally use, to make a quesadilla.
