    How to Serve Hummus

    The best think about hummus is that there are so many different options when it comes to serving it. You can serve it with bread such as crackers, pita bread, naan flatbread, or crusty sourdough. You can keep it completely gluten-free and serve with an assortment of fruit such as sliced apples and pears, or veggies. Or use it as a spread in a Thanksgiving sandwich or vegan hummus wrap.
