Hummus and vegetables

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.
