Do you remember the first smear of hummus you ever tried? Because I do, and it was a pivotal life moment, friends. I was studying nutrition and was elated to learn that this mystical creamy dip is not only good for you but can be paired with anything (yes, it even pairs with chocolate—trust me!).

Here are just a few of the ways you can use it:

Dip it with veggies like carrots, broccoli, or celery.
Get creative and use it as a fruit dip for apples.
Slather it on pita chips (because, duh, this duo is a classic).
Spread it on sandwiches or wraps for a creamy upgrade.
Toss it into pasta and salads as a quick and healthy sauce.

Hummus is healthy, too! Chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) are the main ingredient, and they are a powerhouse of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, iron, and magnesium. So, you can dip, smear, and spread all day, knowing full well that you’re getting a boost of nutrition!
