Everything bagel hummus takes less than five minutes to make and is a great afternoon snack served alongside pita wedges or fresh-cut veggies.
I saw a commercial the other day for a new product by a company that sells canned beans. They now also make a "Hummus Made Easy" pouch. I suppose for major convenience sake that's a great idea, but really, it is not hard to make hummus from scratch. NOT HARD AT ALL! And, yes, I suppose it takes more than three steps to make, but it really isn't rocket science.
I probably make a new batch of hummus every week – D likes to take some to work to snack on with veggies or crackers. I like that, given the simplicity of the base recipe, it's super-simple to customize flavors and never have the same hummus twice.
I'm a sucker for hummus that has extra jooj (zhuzj?) on top. I'm totally That Girl who eats up all the extra topping first. Don't judge. This hummus recipe uses my everything bagel spice blend to amp up the flavor and add a little satisfying crunch.
