Hummus Charcuterie Board
I had the incredible honor of visiting Israel, and I was completely blown away by my deep love for Israeli food and culture. The flavors of real food, warmth of the people, and fun/diversity at every turn had me so much in love with the country and people. I didn’t really know I loved hummus until visiting Israel.
Hummus is more of a way of life than an appetizer like we treat it in the U.S. Here are some pictures of some of the amazing hummus and appetizer boards we had on our EPIC trip. (All food photos from Israel by the amazing Amir Menahem.)
My Hummus board doesn’t do the boards in Israel any justice whatsoever, so you’re just going to have to visit there to experience the divine food yourself :). You can make it throughout the year for game day, tailgating, holidays, and more. Just remember to use fresh seasonal produce and get creative!
Fun Fact: When I was recently in Israel, I found out that dipping raw onion into hummus is actually very popular and traditional!
In this summer I attempted my own Hummus and Vegetable Board. Beautiful summer veggies paired with delicious and creamy hummus is a match made in heaven! It’s so fun to get together with friends and family and let them choose their favorite dippers. It’s always a huge hit, conversation starter, and show stopper!

Arrange all the hummus on the board first: The most important ingredient in this divine vegetable and hummus Board is the hummus! I’m using Homemade Classic Hummus, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and 1 package each of spicy hummus and roasted garlic hummus from the store. You need 3-4 hummus variety—make your own or use store bought.
Slice veggies: Almost any vegetable goes well with hummus! You can grill the veggies or leave them raw. My fave summer veggies to add to are zucchini, peppers (red, yellow, green, sweet), eggplant, onion, tomato, jalapeño, sugar snap peas, avocado, radishes, olives and spicy chickpeas.
Extras like jams/spreads/cheese/crackers: Add some fig jam and tart cherry spread, fruits like blueberries, figs and crackers. Fill any extra space with fruits or vegetable slices.
How to Store
Refrigerate leftover hummus for 3-5 days in an airtight container. Transfer all vegetables to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for further use.
