Notes

Homemade hummus: Add about 10 minutes per batch if making Lebanese Hummus from scratch. Make ahead: Chop toppings up to 1 day ahead and store separately. Spread the hummus up to 3 hours ahead, then top right before serving. Crowd size: Plan on about 1/3 cup hummus per person. Double everything for 12 to 16 people. Leftovers: Topped hummus keeps up to 2 days. Plain hummus keeps up to 4 days.
