After countless hours of anticipation and seemingly never-ending months of waiting, our favourite day is finally upon us again. Yes that's right, it's International Hummus Day, obviously. Seeing as hummus is such a Middle Eastern staple (it did originate here after all), it's pretty clear that we've got to set a precedent for how to celebrate this day in style. For that reason, we've compiled a list of 5 tasty and unique hummus dishes that you absolutely have to try.
