The sides they enjoy with it vary. Sometimes I make a composed salad with lots of Pepperoncini, fresh vegetables, and Kalamata olives. Sometimes, as seen here, we have a platter of fresh vegetables, feta cheese, pita pockets, and a Greek Vinaigrette. Often we have an olive salad or Tabbouleh salad on the side. But always, we have lots of hummus to go along with it.
The best recipe for Hummus, I've found, is the one from Cook's Illustrated. Go easy on the garlic, though. I like garlic, but raw garlic in a bland dip such as this can be fairly assertive.
This has become one of our favorite go-to meals for two college kids on the go.

My kids LOVE hummus too, always eating it. My daughter lives in the city near some middle eastern stores who make it fresh along with warm freshly made pita's ,it's so good!!! We're always begging her to bring some out to us!
I want to like hummus, but have tried it several times and it's just ok to me. Daughter and husband don't like it.
Looks like a healthy snack or meal though. :)
