These recipes go way beyond classic hummus that uses chickpeas as the base and turns some of our favorite Southern ingredients into a delicious dip. We're talking classic favorites like boiled peanuts and black-eyed peas.

Plus, there is a wide variety of foods you can serve alongside your homemade hummus based on your personal taste including crudités, breads, crackers, and chips. 01 of 02 Smoky Field Pea Hummus Recipe: Smoky Field Pea Hummus To help this hummus come together even faster and easier, you can skip the ham toppings if desired.
