SPRING HERB HUMMUS VEGETABLE GARDEN



Spring Herb Hummus Vegetable Garden image

Vegetable platters need not look all look the same. Here, fresh spring vegetables sit in an herb-laced hummus to resemble a spring garden in full bloom. My kids loved plucking the crisp vegetables from the garden, so much so that I think they forgot that they were filling themselves up with such a healthful snack.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a vibrant flavor to hummus that dried herbs can't match. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas: Overcooked chickpeas will make your hummus grainy and dry. Cook them until they're tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good-quality tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus, so it's important to use a good-quality brand. Look for a tahini that's made from 100% sesame seeds and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Add some acidity: Acidity helps to balance out the richness of the hummus. You can add acidity with lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt.
  • Season to taste: Hummus should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic. Taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Conclusion:

Hummus is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed in many ways. It's perfect for a party appetizer, a quick snack, or a healthy lunch. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a hummus that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack or appetizer, give hummus a try.
