Another National Food Day!
Today, May 13th is National Hummus Day!
National Hummus Day started in 2012 in Tel Aviv as a joke. Now it has spread all around the world with events where people share their love for hummus.
Hummus can be used as a dip or a sandwich filling. It has a lot of protein and fiber. It’s pretty versatile.
Traditional hummus is made with chickpeas but you can expand your horizons as well.
Different Types of Hummus

There are more! Even chocolate hummus.
Here are a few hummus recipes so you can celebrate!
