At some point in the 90s, hummus became ubiquitous; at this point, you might assume you’re simply tired of eating it. Before you let familiarity breed contempt, nibble a bite or two of an updated, locally-sourced version from these Tacoma-based snack masters. Each is developed with a different Yakima Valley grapeseed oil (which are high in healthy polyunsaturated fats), blended with a specific Central Washington bean–navy bean/chardonnay oil, red bean/merlot oil, and garbanzo/riesling oil.
Find the dips at Ballard Farmer’s Market, Tacoma Boys, Spud, Marlene’s Markets, Madison Market and many Whole Foods locations.
