    If you have a blender or food processor, hummus is a deliciously easy recipe to make at home. Just throw everything in and blend until it is nice and creamy.

    Hummus is not only easy, it is also versatile. Add in roasted garlic one time, some cooked beets the next, and the next time you can go with a traditional recipe and top it with tzatziki and fresh vegetables for a Mediterranean 7 Layer Dip.

    Many Ways to Serve Hummus

    Here in the US, hummus is mostly served as a chip or veggie dip. But, in the Middle East it is usually served with fresh pita, falafal, shish kebab, etc. as more of a side dish than a dip.

    Use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps instead of mayonnaise or mustard.

    Smear it on toast - amazing with fresh tomatoes or avocado.

    Add it to pasta, cooked vegetables, scrambled eggs.

    You can even used as a salad dressing for a green salad or potato salad.
