Hummus

[englishmann]

I just bought a pretty large thing of hummus at Sam's Club.

Apart from dipping Pita chips in it, which I could happily do until it's gone, how else can I eat it? In which dishes? Does it work as a spread for, say, a pita sandwich with grilled chicken?

Any suggestions would be awesome.

Thanks!

Hummus!

Hummus is awesome as a sandwich spread, and I have had it with shredded carrots, sprouts, cheese and avocado many times (I worked for a longt time in a health food store's deli).

I also loved it in a pita sandwich with home made cole slaw. Mmmm!

When you say in a pita sandwich, do you mean that you just spread hummus in a pita and that was it? I'm just clarifying...it sounds good.

Freshly baked bread rolls, so they're still warm. Just dip and eat.
Yumm!
It also works well if you dip onion rings, and carrot sticks.

I don't eat fried food, but the loads of suggestions I've gotten for dipping crudite in them sound great. I've a large bag of baby carrots that'll do well.

Thanks!

As suggested above, it's great in wraps/sandwiches. My fave is grilled portobella, havarti (melted on the mushroom), spinach, red onion, hummus and a splash of balsamic.

Sounds yummy. Thanks for the suggestion.

a hummus and chicken sammie with tomatoes, cuke, and yogurt (i'd suggest the greek style) on pita would be yummy...and gives *me* an idea for this week....

That sounds really yummy in a really simplistic way. Thank you.

Hummus + sliced steak, hummus + falafel, as a bed for half a grilled chicken.... though I don't know if pre-made hummus would be good for that. But filet mignon in hummus (or shawarma and hummus), scooped up with pita, was what we had for dinner last night at my favorite restaurant in Chicago...
