Hummus is chickpeas enriched with tahini and olive oil, which is where its creaminess and most of its calories come from — a level tablespoon runs about 25 calories, but nobody dips shallowly. With vegetables it makes a genuinely balanced snack. Supermarket tubs vary widely in oil; the label beats the table here.
