A classic and the best hummus recipe that you can make in just 5 minutes. Dip a chip or fresh raw vegetables and enjoy it with individual portions. 

Hummus is one of the best snacks to keep in your fridge, in my opinion. Because in addition to enjoying it with chips or pita bread, fresh raw vegetables taste great when dipped in hummus.

Don’t you agree? Isn’t it a good way to eat more vegetables?

The Best Hummus Recipe is A Classic!

You can certainly get creative with your hummus by adding extra ingredients in it. Take the Smoky Chipotle Hummus as an example, a couple chipotle peppers in adobe sauce makes a huge difference. However, in this post, I included a very basic, yet probably the best hummus recipe I’ve ever come across. You seriously can’t go wrong with this recipe!

How To Enjoy The Best Hummus Recipe

As mentioned, other than enjoying hummus with chips, I like dipping vegetables in it and I recommend you give it a try if you haven’t yet.

Vegetables to Dip In Your Hummus

Here is a list of the vegetables for your hummus. This is not a complete list. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables onto your plate.

  • Thinly sliced radish
  • Celery
  • Baby carrots
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Broccoli florets
  • Mini sweet peppers
  • Sliced cucumbers

Separate The Hummus in Small Portions

This recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups of hummus. You can separate the batch into 5 half-cup portions and pack up one portion each day to snack on at work.

If you want to serve hummus to your guests, the individual portions will allow your guests to enjoy this healthy appetizer without having to share it with anyone.
