This is not so much a recipe as a serving method. The next time you need a snappy appetizer, try this flavorful combo.

2 8-10 oz containers store-bought hummus (plain)
1 15 oz can chickpeas (drain and reserve half)
1 16-oz jar roasted red peppers, drained and pureed (reserve 4 oz)
4 oz lemon juice
Za’atar, to taste (~2 tbsp)
Sumac, to taste (~2 tsp)
Aleppo pepper, to taste (~1 tsp)
Spread the hummus in a shallow serving bowl. Swirl in the puréed roasted red peppers and lemon juice. Scatter the chickpeas over top, then sprinkle with sumac, Aleppo pepper, and za’atar.
Serve with assorted chips, raw vegetables, pickled vegetables, and lettuce leaves.
