Hummus Chick, a Nashville favorite, has partnered with Hot Poppy, a local farm fresh grocery delivery app that partners with local vendors around Nashville, to give a new platform to local food creators. This partnership is a perfect match, as both companies share a love for fresh, high-quality food made with locally sourced ingredients.
The founder of Hummus Chick was born to Persian parents in the oasis of UAE, surrounded by desert dunes and date-bearing palm trees. Her world was shaped by vibrant cultures and unique cuisines from around the world. That’s where her passion for food and people came together. In 1998, she was welcomed to Middle Tennessee with open arms as an international university student and planted roots in Nashville as an immigrant.
As she missed foods from her childhood, she found herself falling in love with cooking and recreating food experiences that brought communities together. It was during a surfing trip to California that she experienced one of those life-changing moments that you often hear about but never expect to happen to you. While sitting on her surfboard in the Pacific Ocean, waiting for a wave, she was struck with a sudden realization: if cooking for friends is her passion, she should start a company that allows her to share that love of food and flavors with others. Hummus Chick was created, and upon her return to Nashville, she rented a kitchen and has been living her dream ever since! By the way, she’s a better hummus artisan than a surfer.
Her food philosophy is sacred. She creates recipes influenced by nature and the Mediterranean culture. The more colorful the recipe, the happier she is. She incorporates the same philosophy when concocting Hummus Chick hummus and spice blends. Since Hummus Chick was introduced at the Nashville farmers market, their brand has evolved by listening to captivating stories of the Mediterranean. This is how their spice line was created. Her recipes are gifts of gratitude to the forged friendships and community she’s been happy to call home, and she hopes you enjoy them too. Feed your body and nourish your soul!

Hummus Chick's recipe for the perfect hummus has been passed down for centuries. The key is to use slowly roasted garbanzo beans, which are carefully blended with luscious lemons, creamy tahini, and a warm hint of cumin.
To make this delicious hummus, start by roasting the garbanzo beans until they are tender and slightly crispy. This can be done in the oven or on the stovetop. You want to make sure the beans are fully cooked, but not burnt or too dry.
Next, prepare your other ingredients. You will need fresh lemon juice, high-quality tahini, and ground cumin. Make sure your lemon is juicy and ripe, and your tahini is smooth and creamy.
When your garbanzo beans are ready, add them to your blender or food processor. Add the lemon juice, tahini, and cumin, and start blending. The key to the perfect hummus is in the blending process. You must be mindful and patient when blending the ingredients, taking care to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
If your hummus is too thick, you can add a little bit of water or olive oil to thin it out. If it's too thin, add more garbanzo beans or tahini. Taste as you go, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Once the hummus is ready, serve it on toasted pita bread with sliced avocado and cucumbers for a delicious and healthy snack. You can also serve it with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a dip for chips.
Hummus Chick's secret recipe for the perfect hummus is not just delicious, it's also good for you. Garbanzo beans are a great source of protein and fiber, while lemons provide a boost of vitamin C. Tahini is rich in healthy fats and cumin is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
