Take store bought bean dip from hummus to YUMMUS with this delicious and speedy layered hummus dip.
Tasty hummus is piled high with a mountain of toppings including feta, cucumber, onion, parsley, and drizzled witha sweet and savory balsamic glaze.
This shortcut layered hummus dip has been my hands-down favorite snack/appetizerto whip up when I have last minute company.
Though let’s be honest, most of the time I have enough advance notice but wind up reading blogs, snuggling ze bebe, washing sippy cups, attempting to tame my frizz-monster of a mane, finding yogurt or avocado or some unacceptable substance in the aforementioned mane and playing the do I really have to wash my hair?!game while attempting to clothe myself and OMG-WHAT-AM-I-GOING-TO-FEED-THESE-PEOPLE!?
Of course it doesn’t always go down quite like that. Sometimes I make this with nothing more than the intent to shovel it into my face.
There may only be 2.5 of us living in this house, but a tub of hummus is a one day affair over here. The second it’s opened, it’s a mere hour or so from utter annihilation.Fancifying it simply slows us down a little.
Why yes, I do use toppings as obstacles to slow me down. Why no, it doesn’t work one bit. I still eat faster than the Cookie Monster.
mmm… cookies. I should make us some… Until then, we hummus!

Surround with an array of crunchy pita chips and veggies. Because, duh.
Notes
Of course if you’re chilling at home with some chickpeas and a food processor handy,then feel free to whip up a bowl of yummy homemade hummus!
Same goes for the glaze, you can purchase a bottle at your favorite grocery store or simply reduce your favorite balsamic vinegar over medium heat in a saucepan , stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a yummy reduction.
Serve with sliced cucumber,carrot sticks or baby carrots, bell pepper slices, and pita chips for dipping.
