Hummus and Veggies

Hummus a wonderful snack filled with good nutrients. This is a snack that can help you encourage your children to eat the much needed 4-5 servings of veggies a day. Hummus is also a great appetizer to a healthy and tasty meal. There are many twists to the hummus recipe but the version I am sharing below is the basic one.
