Hummus is a no brainer, go to dip for so many these days! Served with crudité, pita bread or chips, falafels – you name it! This cold and creamy dip is a healthy alternative to butter on a sandwich, it’s easy to pair with meats, vegetables, and salads, and it makes a great sub when those avocados sitting on your counter accidently get too ripe too fast.
