First, make sure your basic ingredients are all high quality. Then, have fun playing with add-ins! Add red bell pepper or roasted red bell pepper right in the mix while processing (add with the tahini), or pile sautéed peppers on top when serving. Try roasted garlic rather than fresh. Ground cumin adds another flavor profile, as does Lebanese 7 Spice (baharat) and finishing with fresh parsley or other herbs and/or toasted sesame seeds.
