So many hummus platters, so few of them delicious. At bars across the land, the hummus plate is a token, a throwaway, an obligatory nod to the vegans and the dieters.
But this is not the case at Hopvine, which changes up its hummus seasonally—on day you may find it’s made of white beans, another time: pinto. Some days, it’s just good old fashioned chickpeas and garlic, with a little paprika on top for color and flavor pizzazz.
The other stuff on the platter changes too. There may be almonds, or roasted red peppers, or cucumbers, or sunflower seeds, or olives, or red onions. Pita is the only consistent player in this production.
So there you have it, the Hopvine hummus platter. Tastes good, always surprising, won’t make you fat. Enjoy.
