Hummus and Crudités

This classic hummus and crudités dish is a staple of Mediterranean-style dining, offering a protein-rich and vibrant option for a light lunch or evening snack. By blending cupboard staples like canned chickpeas and extra-virgin olive oil with a hint of cumin and fresh lemon, you can achieve a texture that is far superior to shop-bought versions. The slight sweetness from a touch of sugar balances the earthy garlic, creating a well-rounded dip that pairs perfectly with crisp, seasonal vegetables.

As a versatile vegan recipe, this hummus is ideal for preparing ahead of time, as the flavours develop and deepen after an hour or two in the fridge. Serve it as part of a larger sharing platter or keep a batch chilled for a healthy, fibre-packed snack throughout the week. It is a nutritious choice for those seeking a simple, homemade alternative to processed dips.
