Hummus
“I always keep quality, fresh hummus in the fridge, and when I’m too lazy to cook—especially after a long night working in the slice shop—I’ll warm up a pita and serve it alongside the hummus, mixing in some high-quality extra-virgin olive oil, Maldon salt flakes, and paprika,” says Noam Grossman, cofounder of NYC’s newest hot spot, Upside Pizza. He suggests topping the protein-rich hummus with fresh vegetables and herbs, which he always tries to have around, as well as olives and pickles for an added burst of flavor.
