FAQs

What Can I Mix with Hummus to Make it Taste Better?

First, try lemon juice. It enhances the flavors. Next, drizzle generously some extra virgin olive oil – the higher the quality, the better the taste. If herby olive oil is a favorite, then use that for more color. Last, sprinkle some garlic powder, and fresh ground pepper. Cayenne pepper or paprika will supercharge your hummus with flavor too.
