Expert Tips
- Plain hummus is fine, but feel free to experiment with your favorite type – from garlic to roasted red pepper.
- Not a fan of goat cheese? Feta or blue cheese both work well as substitutes.
- Sumac is a tart spice that adds a lemony flavor to Middle Eastern dishes and spice rubs, such as za’atar. Look for it in gourmet stores or online.
