Description
A loaded hummus board is an artistic and abundant take on the classic Middle Eastern dip. Instead of serving hummus in its traditional container, a generous amount is spread directly onto a large platter, cutting board, or shallow serving dish. The surface of the hummus is then “loaded” with a combination of savory, salty, acidic, and fresh ingredients—anything from roasted vegetables and pickled items to cheeses and nuts.
