Notes
*You can do these steps slightly ahead of time if you want and just store them separately until you assemble. They won't be quite as crunchy as if you make the dip fresh, but they'll still be good.
**I used homemade hummus (I have a small local artisanal hummus business!) but you could definitely use store bought hummus if you want to save time. Also, if you make a big batch of homemade hummus, I find it freezes and thaws very well, so you could always freeze it in smaller portions and take it out when you're ready to eat it!
