Hummus: What to Dip in the Dip?
We’ve noticed that we get a lot of searches and hits for Hummus. A recent question was posed as to what to dip in it.
I think a more accurate question could be, "What can’t you dip in hummus?" Because the "world is your oyster," if you can dip it, you can dip it in hummus. Traditional would be pita bread. Cut a pita into wedges and either toast them first or serve them as is. As for vegetables, anything you normally would use as a dipper for dips: carrots, celery, green peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.
You can also be a little creative. How about french fries? Chicken nuggets? Believe me, awesome taste and beats honey mustard hands down. And of course chips of any kind. And if you like the sweet and savory flavor combination try dipping apple or pear wedges into your hummus. Plain hummus would work better in this case, but hey, whatever hummus taste kick hits your fancy. Go for roasted red pepper, Greek olive, pine nut, extra roasted garlic, caramelized onion, even citrus flavored hummus. Flavorings for hummus are endless. Mexican chipotle adds a nice extra heat punch and great flavor too!
And don’t forget, hummus makes a fantastic sandwich spread too. Hummus is enjoyed throughout the Middle Eastern region and beyond. And it’s so popular there that it can be eaten at every meal!
