How Dallas does hummus: 8 alternative ways to scoop up this popular dip

Hummus trio at Zoes Kitchen [https: /zoeskitchen.com/] Fast-casual Mediterranean chain just introduced a new hummus trio of which it is very proud. If you visit a branch, you will see cards at each table advertising the trio, as well as signs by the cash register and on the wall. The trio includes classic, basil pesto and red pepper; it comes with cucumber slices, strips of green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, pita bread and pita crisps. That is a lot of food for $7. Great food, not so much. The classic hummus was mild, with notes of garlic, refrigerator staleness and bitterness. The basil pesto hummus was very basil, to the point of soapy, with an aftertaste of garlic. The red pepper hummus was possibly the best of the three, although it had a bottled-dressing undertone with a spicy-hot finish that left the stomach feeling a bit jittery. Each came with a signature topper: pureed red pepper, pesto and, for the classic hummus, two kalamata olives. The olives were good.
