Hummus is one of those things that sounds like it should be complicated but is actually so simple and once you make it yourself, you'll never go back to the store-bought stuff. The secret? Peeling your chickpeas. Yes, it's an extra step, but it's the difference between good hummus and ridiculously silky, smooth hummus. Pair it with homemade zaatar pita chips that come together in under 15 minutes and you've got the ultimate appetizer situation. Whether it's game day, a dinner party, or honestly just a Tuesday, this combo never misses
