hummus plate

Chickpea dip serving

A hummus plate is a serving of hummus—the Middle Eastern chickpea and tahini dip—typically accompanied by pita bread, vegetables, olives, and other garnishes.

It appears on menus at Mediterranean restaurants and casual eateries as an appetizer or light meal: We split a hummus plate before our entrées.
