If there’s one super versatile recipe going around, it would have to be hummus. Not only is it an absolute cinch to make, you can use it in so many ways. In fact, there’s not many times that we don’t have a container of hummus sitting in the fridge!
A few different ways to use hummus include:
- as a dip with vegetable sticks
- on sandwiches
- on Turkish pides
- with falafels
- on top of tabbouleh
- on a cheese platter
- with pita chips
- spooned on top of roast vegetables
- on top of a salad
- mixed with eggs or chicken for a yummy sandwich filler
- with kebabs
- on toast with avocado (my fave!!)
- on top of a pizza base
There are SO many ways you can eat hummus. And it’s so good for you!! In my opinion, there really is no better dip!

How long does the hummus last once made?? And how do I store it?
Thanks
Hi Oria, I store our homemade hummus in an airtight container in the fridge and don’t normally keep it any longer than 5 days after making it 🙂

what do you normally use the drained liqliquidud for ?

Hi James, you can use a tablespoon or 2 when mixing the dip if it’s a little bit dry and too thick. Otherwise you discard it. 🙂
Can this be frozen ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Claire, I personally wouldn’t freeze hummus. 🙂
