Everyone will be excited to eat their veggies when you bring this Holiday Hummus Vegetable Platter to the party featuring Boar’s Head Hummus!
Are you a big hummus fan like I am? It’s fantastic with fresh or roasted vegetables, chips or crackers, crusty bread…I could go on and on! I even like it in salads.
But I admit that I have never been talented at making my own hummus. I have tried countless recipes, but they never live up to my expectations. The flavor is okay, but I can’t seem to get the texture right. Have you ever experienced this?
That’s why I was so excited to discover Boar’s Head Hummus. This hummus tastes exactly like what I enjoy in Mediterranean restaurants. It’s so smooth and creamy. There’s not a trace of grittiness. I don’t know how they do it!
And the flavors are amazing!

Which flavors are you most excited to try?
This holiday season I decided that instead of bringing the usual plate of hummus and veggies to parties, I would dress it up a little. You can make any shape you like, such as a wreath, menorah, or Christmas tree. But I’m particularly fond of making a Christmas ornament because it’s cute and so incredibly easy!
Let’s make a Holiday Hummus Vegetable Platter!
Holiday Hummus Vegetable Platter
Ingredients
- 1 container Boar's Head Hummus (I used Traditional)
- assorted vegetables (baby carrots, green bell pepper, grape tomatoes, black olives, etc.)
Instructions
- Spread some hummus on a round plate.
- Add rows of vegetables in alternating colors.
- Add a square piece of bell pepper and a curved strip to make the top of the ornament.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve and enjoy!
And don’t get rid of your vegetable scraps and leftover hummus. You can enjoy them as a snack anytime!

I’m going to be hunting down this hummus. It all looks so good!
Amy says
Check the deli counter area of your local supermarket. It wasn’t with the other hummus at my store. It’s definitely a step above!

The Boar’s Head Hummus sounds awesome. It’s a shame I’ve never seen it here. And what a clever presentation idea! It would be great to leave the kiddos with a pile of veggies and the hummus and see what they come up with decoration wise!
Amy says
That would be really fun! I had never seen it until now either. It wasn’t with the other hummus in my store. I found it in the deli area.
Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche says
How fun! You could make all sorts of shapes like this, such a cool idea. And it’s great to have some Christmassy food options that aren’t super unhealthy!
Amy says
Thanks Becca! I agree!
Becky Striepe says
I love how simple this is! I always end up going overly complicated when I’m planning holiday parties and then regret it.
Amy says
It is really easy! And delicious. 🙂
Jenn says
Hummus is a staple during the holidays and pretty much any other time of year. Love the cute little ornament you made out of the veggies!
Amy says
Thanks Jenn! It’s fun and yummy!
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
That would be such a perfect party appetizer! I love veggies + hummus! I need to try that brand of hummus!
Amy says
Thanks Liz! It’s really a step above the rest!
Dianne's Vegan Kitchen says
I love how you’ve the hummus and veggie platter look so festive with red and green veggies!
Amy says
Thanks Dianne!
Platter Talk says
I might get some of my small cookie cutters out and see if I can make some veggie shapes with your idea! I’ve never seen BH hummus but will try!
Amy says
That’s a great idea! I need to get some of those.
linda spiker says
I am ALWAYS in the mood for hummus!
Amy says
Me too!
Boastful Food says
You can never go wrong with hummus! Love the holiday riff with the colorful veggies. The tree-cheese platter is also an awesome idea.
Amy says
Thank you so much!
Mary Ellen @ VNutrition says
Such a cool idea to put the veggies over the hummus! This and your cheesy Christmas platter are so creative!
The Board Head hummus looks so tasty, I’ll be looking for it at my supermarket!
Amy says
Thanks Mary Ellen! Maybe I’ll just serve appetizers for Christmas. lol
Cadry says
So cute, Amy! Your ornament design would also work for an ugly sweater party if you had a sweatshirt-shaped dish!
Amy says
That’s so funny, Cadry…I was totally thinking the same thing! I just need to find that dish!
Sarah says
Ha, yes! I bet you could make a platter by cutting one out of cardboard and covering it with foil! Then you could do all kinds of tiny bowls of hummus/ornaments 🙂 Cute!
Amy says
Why didn’t I think if that? Oh yeah, I wasn’t an art teacher. Another great idea, Sarah!
Melissa | Vegan Huggs says
Oh wow,! I didn’t know they had hummus. And it’s non-GMO??? This is fantastic! I will definitely be looking for this on my next shopping trip. I love the cute veggie ornament you made. Such a great idea. 🙂
Amy says
Thanks Melissa! The hummus is delicious. I found it in the deli section of my store. It’s not with the other hummus.
Evi @ greenevi says
I love such beautiful platters!, you are so creative! And hummus just makes every holiday better 😉
Amy says
Thanks Evi! I agree, it’s not a holiday without hummus!
