  • Place hummus in a bowl.
  • Stir in a couple more tablespoons of roughly chopped parsley.
  • Sprinkle the paprika over the top and, if desired, drizzle lightly with olive oil. (I did not do this).

Notes

Fresh vegetable dippers: carrot chips, sugar snap peas, snow pea pods, radish slices, julienned golden beets or jicama, bell pepper strips (red, orange, and yellow are best), yellow squash or zucchini slices, grape tomatoes, cauliflower or broccoli florets, even chunks of cheese or pita chips.
 
 
NOTE: You may want to increase the salt and pepper.
