There is nothing that gets devoured quicker at a social gathering than this traditional hummus. It’s comforting, creamy, flavorful, filling, satisfying….simply delectable. Everyone loves a good hummus dip. Especially if it’s homemade, as the texture and freshness really shine through. Add a nice assortment of dippers, think fresh vegetable sticks, pickled vegetables, pita bread, pita chips, crackers, and chips. There’s a dipper for hummus for every kind of eater. 
I make this batch when I host a large group. And I also make it on nights when it’s just my husband and I in our jammies and we get a strong craving for it; we simply eat what we can the night of, and then save the rest in a large container with a lid to use in salads, wraps or sandwiches for lunch. It’s so versatile. And it’s also easy to make. I simply keep the ingredients on hand in my pantry for when the craving randomly hits.
Sometimes we feel real ambitious and we make a whole Middle Eastern inspired spread for the night, including this traditional hummus, of course. You can say the hummus is the guest of honor here.
For the spread we love to pair the hummus withmy Homemade Pita Bread, Pickled Vegetables, Toum (garlic sauce) and fresh Labneh with Golden Berry Chutney. A better date night in at home is hard to find. The whole spread is next level.
