Hummus is a Middle Eastern staple that has been popularized all over the world. You can find this chickpea dip in almost every grocery store, but whether you decide to make yourself or buy, there are certain tricks that will not only bump up the flavor but impress yourself and your guests.
Store Bought
If you are having a large party, there sometimes isn’t time to make everything from scratch. However, just because it’s from the store, doesn’t mean that you have to leave it as it is. A great way to add something special is to drizzle with olive oil and add some spices on top. A few options are paprika, za’atar, or even sesame seeds.
Tahini
If you are going through the trouble of making homemade hummus, do it right! Don’t be afraid to add too much tahini even if it seems like a lot. Most of the flavor of hummus actually comes from this sesame paste, so don’t be frugal.
Roasted Chickpeas
Whether you’re making it from scratch or buying it from the store, an easy way to make your hummus look impressive is by roasting some chickpeas and adding them to the center. This not only reinforces the star ingredient but adds a beautiful garnish and crunch.
