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!

      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!

      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.

    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!

    So cute, Amy! Your ornament design would also work for an ugly sweater party if you had a sweatshirt-shaped dish!

        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!
