Kids love dipping, and creating your own dip is an easy way to get them to eat their veggies. This is an incredibly easy make-at-home hummus that your kids can help with and goes perfectly with crudites or pita chips.
Easy Hummus
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup roasted tahini
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup water
salt to taste
parsley (optional)
kalamata or black olives (optional)
roasted red peppers (optional)
In a food processor, blend chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth. Add water as needed for desired consistency. Add salt to taste and parsley for garnish.
If desired, blend in kalamata olives or roasted red peppers for additional flavor.
