Hummus . . . just like that! It doesn't need an introduction or for me to try to convince you to try it or prepare it. I mean,is there anything else that is as lifesaving as hummus?Adding hummus to any type of dish makes it automatically feel like a total meal. I try to always have some hummus in my fridge. Sometimes I have it over brown rice and roasted veggies for lunch; sometimes with carrots, celery, and other crudités for a snack; or over a piece of toasted bread for breakfast. It is creamy and delicious,but the best part? It's so easy to prepare! whether you're looking to add a Latin twist to the addictive dip, chipotle peppers are always a fine addition. The smokiness and depth of flavor they add might actually surprise you. Besides, and adding a bit more spice gives me more options as far as what I can eat it with,like tortilla chips or even just adding a dollop to a enormous bowl of red Mexican rice with black beans, tons of greens, and half an avocado.
