Lebanese Style Hummus is a simple twist on classic hummus using ingredients you already have. Creamy hummus is topped with diced tomatoes, fresh parsley and mint, chickpeas, pine nuts and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve this with a rainbow of vegetables and whole wheat pita. The perfect unofficial meal!
Today’s recipe for Lebanese Style Hummus is a special one for me.
Hummus is what I grew up eating before meals, as a snack, or an appetizer at a party or family get together. We would make this Lebanese Hummus Recipe often. Ok, let’s be honest, even if we eat hummus before a meal, it still makes an appearance on the actual dinner table to accompany our kibbeh, Lebanese Green Beans, pita and yogurt. I was lucky to grow up with a Lebanese family that embraced our country’s food and shared it together time and time again.
We would always start our family get togethers with creamy, plain hummus made by my Mom and Grandma {and still do} with a variety of toppings. Some days it might be toasted pine nuts, other days chopped parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, or chickpeas, a drizzle of olive oil and diced tomatoes. Hummus is a wonderful, versatile food. It is a blank canvas for so many different ingredients and offers a chance to stand around a table with family and friends after a long day to unwind, reconnect and enjoy fresh food.
I like to top the hummus with freshly chopped parsley, diced tomatoes, lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of chickpeas. I always set the extra chickpeas out in a bowl because my toddler will snack on them. You could try topping with these Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas if you want to get creative.
The parsley, tomatoes and lemon juice are inspired from my favorite Lebanese salad, tabbouleh, but I left out the bulgur, because I don’t always have a pre-made tabbouleh salad in my fridge.
If you happen to have some leftover tabbouleh {lucky you!} you can use that! Another ingredient I like adding from time to time is feta cheese. I think it pairs great with the hummus and fresh vegetables.
