Spice up your hummus addiction with these recipe ideas from talented food bloggers.
I often ask myself why the most delicious foods are bad for you. But there are of course also some incredibly delicious foods that are very good for you indeed, like that most brilliant of foods – hummus!
Hummus is delicious, easy to make, healthy, and usually vegan if that’s something that interests you.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t like hummus. It’s a good thing it’s healthy because it’s one of those things I can’t stop eating once I’ve got started!
I wonder if our son Benjamin will like it, too? As he just turned 6 months old last week, we’ve been giving him some bits of food to try. In fact, in just one week, he’s already tried banana, avocado, sweet potato, toast, chicken, eggs, cucumber, salmon, green beans, bell peppers, apples and pears!
Despite a bit of gagging and face-pulling, he seems to be having a great time with all the new tastes and textures. I bet he’s going to be a foodie too when he grows up!
I’d say he’ll love hummus, too. As soon as I have my food processor back (I’d guess it’s currently somewhere across the Indian Ocean along with the rest of the stuff we’re shipping over to Australia!) I’ll make him some.
The fact I’m considering feeding it to my baby proves how wholesome hummus is!
Clearly, we all need to eat more hummus, including those of us who happen to be only 6 months old.
When I make hummus for Benjamin, I’ll probably start with this quick hummus and 2-ingredient flatbread. It’s the way I usually make hummus, and it’s so delicious scooped up with the warm flatbread.
But once we’ve made that a few times, we might need some new hummus ideas.
So… I’ve gathered together some stellar hummus recipes from my food blogging friends. Who knew there could be so many interesting varieties of hummus?
So many in fact that I decided to list them here in 4 different categories: hummus with a twist, classic hummus recipes, loaded hummus, and totally wacky hummus recipes.

Hummus is the most lovable dip and these are all so creative and delicious.
Thank you!
Looks as if I will be eating nothing but hummus until Christmas! I love the stuff. Hope that you are settling in ok. Give Benjamin a couple of witchity grubs, that should decide whether or not he will be a foodie.
Oops wrong spelling should be witchetty grubs.
I would have been none the wiser 😉
Hahahahaha! Don’t they taste like a toasted cheese and ham omelette? I’m sure I heard that once. Like they are the filet steak of the bug eating world. You wouldn’t catch me trying one, but maybe Benjamin will be braver!
These all look amazing! I’m planning a party, so I’ll definitely try some of them! Thanks for including my recipe!
