Versatile, satisfying, and simple to make, hummus is an ace in the plant-eater's deck. These hummus recipes combine chickpeas and other beans with herbs, veggies, and tantalizing spice blends to achieve rich flavors without using oil. What are all the ways you can use hummus? The possibilities are endless. But we like them served as a dip with crudités, crackers, or baked tortilla chips; as a spread on wraps and sandwiches; or as the creamy element of a Buddha bowl.
