Hummus!
Either you enjoy or not this Middle Eastern dip that pairs perfectly with raw veggies.
In my family hummus is a frequently made dip to savour on meatless days. Hummus can be found in lots of recipes. It pairs so great with many dishes that its popularity became famous around the world, quickly.
Maybe when I was a child I didn’t understand its earthy and flavourless taste. However, when I grew up, I found that it can taste great when you add different add-ins. Despite its versatile nature, hummus is a healthy dish with lots of benefits.
This plant-based protein choice has many advantages like longevity, good digestive health, and truly nutritious.
Sneaking some raw veggies in the creamy hummus is super delicious. This comfort vegan meal turns out to be flavourful and aromatic thanks to the herbs and spices you add. Despite its earthy taste, hummus can taste appetising when you add endless flavours such as rosemary, olive oil, dry tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeno and other ingredients.
Hummus is a tasty and great dip to serve with vegetable sticks, crackers or chips, bread, falafel or beanballs.
Why hummus in a sandwich?
To make it look nicer and be tastier, hummus next to some sliced raw veggies between some grilled bread taste even more delicious.
