Hummus is one of those delicious foods that just aren't so pretty. A monochromatic beige dip made of chickpeas and tahini, it's often served straight from a plastic tub, its edible vessel a similarly hued slice of pita bread.

But such is not the case for Marc from No Recipes. Inspired by what we can only imagine was a very delicious and colorful trip through Tel Aviv, Marc decided he was going to make hummus that was not only full of flavor -- it was going to be beautiful too.

His homemade hummus, shown here, is drizzled with golden olive oil (which he allowed to collect inside the dip's swirls) and garnished with glaringly green parsley and a dash of paprika.

As if this hummus could be any more appealing, he eventually topped it off with caramelized onions.
