The infinite alternatives that hummus offers us when cooking allow us to experiment and get creative. Here are some unusual recipes that you could create with the delicious chickpea paste.

1.- Tuna Sandwich

All you need to do is mix your favorite hummus with lemon juice, two tablespoons of Greek yogurt, and pepper. Then mix in the tuna, some black olives, and you're done; just place the mixture inside dark bread and add a bit of lettuce to finish it off.

2.- Pita Pizza

This recipe is very easy; all you have to do is roast your favorite vegetables with a bit of balsamic vinegar, such as carrots and celery, then spread hummus over a round pita bread and add the vegetables. Put it in the oven for about 15 minutes, and it will be ready.

3.- Hummus-Stuffed Chicken Breasts

You probably already know how to make chicken cordon bleu or breaded chicken fillets. All you need to change now is to include the hummus before breading, as it will give a tangy flavor and much more moisture to your recipe.

4.- Pasta

If you love Mediterranean flavors, then this recipe will delight you. All you need to do is cook pasta as you usually do, and on the side, roast some cherry tomatoes with garlic. When the pasta is ready and dry, add as much hummus as you like, and then incorporate the tomatoes and garlic to finish the preparation.

5.- Burgers

If you already have your own burger recipe, you don't have to change much; you can just vary the dressing. Mix a bit of hummus with the juice of a lemon and add small pieces of cucumber and lettuce. You will have the dressing ready for both burger buns, and you won't resort to more caloric sauces. If you prepare your burger with turkey breast, even better.

6.- Chicken Salad

If you used to add large amounts of mayonnaise to your chicken salad, you can start replacing it with hummus. For a different recipe, include shredded chicken, dried cranberries, half a chopped apple, chopped almonds, a tablespoon of red onion, the juice of a lemon, four tablespoons of hummus, and a bit of salt and pepper. Done! We recommend serving it on a leaf of romaine lettuce.
