For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the cumin seeds in a dry pan for a minute or two before grinding them. If your hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of ice water at a time while blending until you reach your desired consistency. Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika make for an attractive presentation. Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
