FAQs

Can hummus be frozen?

Yes, hummus can be frozen if desired for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw before serving. You can also freeze the corn salsa in a separate air-tight container and just serve them together when ready.

Can hummus be left out?

I do not recommend letting it sit out for more than 2 hours at a time for food safety reasons. This is a recipe that should stay chilled.

What does hummus go well with

This hummus would be great served alongside any number of items including tortilla chips and toasted pita bread rounds. I like to eat it with healthy blue corn tortilla chips because it also adds a nice color to the mix.

    I love that this corn is in dip form. I’m a big fan of corn on the cob but it’s so much easier to eat when its not (I hate getting corn in my teeth ?).
