Just Some Hummus To Add A Little Zing To Your Palette

Hummus is a lusciously creamy, light, and fluffy Middle Eastern dip made with chickpeas, sesame seeds, olive oil, and some seasoning. It is simple yet delicious and very quick to make. Hummus can be best enjoyed with pita bread or falafel or even as a dip for your favorite snack.
