Today I assembled a simple lunch for the kids that they really enjoy. I used a salad container from Rubbermaid that seems to make lunch more interesting for them... I filled a little container with homemade hummus, and added cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers and organic tortilla chips. I used to send carrot strips with this meal, but now that my daughter is wearing braces, I'm skipping this one. But any vegetable that your kids like will do!!
About the
hummus... I bought it from different stores and they are also very good, but
once I started doing my own, well, it makes the family happy!!! I use 1 can of
cooked and peeled garbanzo beans, 2 tablespoons of Tahini, half a lime, 1/4 cup
of olive oil, salt to taste and a splash of water. Run everything in the
processor, adjust seasonings and it's done. The water can be more or less,
according to your taste, if you like thicker or thinner. The Tahini brand that
I used was Once
Again Organic Tahini, I already found it at Meijer and Whole
Foods Market.
