Hummus is a great vegan snack, but variety is the spice of life. As someone who is lactose intolerant, hummus is usually my go-to dip at parties, but it’s gotten a bit old. Not to mention, it’s not as healthy as one might think.
Many people think that being vegan means that you eat boring food with no variety, but that is simply not true. These delicious and creative alternatives to hummus will be loved by vegans and meat eaters alike.
