3 Recipes That Prove Crispbread With Hummus Will Be Your New Favorite Snack

Hot take: Snacking is the best part of the day. Full stop. Doesn’t matter when you do it, or how often — nothing beats a snack (or dare I call it a ‘mini meal?’). The only hard part is choosing which kind to have at any given moment, but that’s a small price to pay, IMO.

The most elite snack starts with the right canvas. It’s something simple, hearty, and versatile that pairs well with any topping, spread, or dip. It’s something you could eat every day in different ways and never get bored of. It’s a snack like Wasa® crispbreads. Starting with just a few simple ingredients, the Swedish company has been churning out baked-to-perfection, crunchy crispbreads for more than 100 years. In addition to providing us with a larger-than-a-regular-cracker companion for hummus, nut butters, and more, Wasa is carbon neutral* so you can make a good choice for the planet, which gives a whole new meaning to “guilt-free snacking.”

We couldn’t let International Hummus Day (May 13) pass without a shoutout to this perfect pair — one of the best combinations since peanut butter and jelly. Celebrate this week (or any week!) by whipping up some of our favorite foodies’ recipes below.

1. Lindsey Baruch’s Roasted Red Pepper Hummus With A Kick

Lindsey is the multi-hyphenate behind wildly successful food blog, Lindsey Eats — meaning she’s the photographer, recipe developer, writer, and chef. When it comes to creating new dishes, the Los Angeles-based “food-fluencer” turns to her love of travel, her friends, plus family recipes from her childhood. And as someone who grew up loving hummus, she’s loyal to her go-to recipe for a roasted red pepper variety topped with chickpeas, chili flakes, paprika, oil, and herbs. Considering Wasa crispbreads come in a variety of flavors (Wasa Multi Grain and Wasa Sourdough, for example), this recipe is the perfect opportunity to try a few different combos and see which one hits just right.

2. The Food Dolls’ Classic Feta Hummus

Alia and Radwa Elkaffas are two Minnesota sisters whose Egyptian mother inspired their love for cooking. They’re constantly experimenting in the kitchen, sharing their creations with their 3.5M-plus social media followers — but their hummus recipe is so good it doesn’t need any tweaking. Simply combine chickpeas, feta cheese, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest — yes, that’s it! Made with deliciously fresh ingredients, this feta hummus will be gone in minutes once it meets its wholesome crispbread companion.

3. Heifa Odeh’s Go-To Hummus

As the face of Middle Eastern food blog Fufu’s Kitchen, Heifa uses both her Palestinian background and love of all cultures to show her followers that tasty and nutritious food can be easy. And it just so happens that hummus is the very first recipe her mother taught her how to make. Their version calls for chickpeas, salt, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, tahini, a pinch of cumin, plus sumac and parsley to garnish. With both dairy and gluten sensitivities, Heifa reaches for Wasa Gluten-Free Classic or Wasa Gluten Free Sesame & Sea Salt crispbreads for all of her snacking needs.
