Healthy Hummus
Want to whip up a healthy snack with no mess and no stress?
Healthy Hummus to the rescue!
It’s a busy time of year which means everyone is looking for easy ways to prepare meals and snacks that have a healthy kick. That’s why we love this healthy hummus recipe. It’s simple to make and can easily be doubled (or tripled) in quantity to feed a crowd. In addition to being delicious, hummus is loaded with fiber, plant-based protein, and healthy fats that keep us feeling satisfied.
Thanks to our KitchenAid 7 Cup Food Processor, all of our ingredients are quickly combined making our hummus smooth and ready in under 5 minutes. We love this model of the classic Food Processor — its unique design makes it easy to use with a one-click and twist-free bowl and clean-up is a breeze as the bowl, lid and accessories are dishwasher-safe. And best of all, it’s so easy to store with all accessories fitting neatly inside the bowl so we aren’t searching around for our blades! We couldn’t love it more!
Hummus is also a fun recipe to make and a great way to get your little ones involved in the Kitchen. Give your budding chefs age appropriate tasks that keep them active and learning new skills! Have a 4-year old? Ask them to count out chickpeas and line them up in rows of 10. Have an 8-year old? Ask them to juice your lemon and remove the seeds. Have a 12-year old? Ask them to lead you through the recipe, helping them to learn safe knife skills as you chop the parsley for your garnish.
Hummus is a fairly simple recipe so there is lots of room for you to get creative with your hummus! Try adding different flavors like roasted red pepper, fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes or marinated olives. Hummus can also be used as a spread for sandwiches and wraps, added to olive oil for a creamy salad dressing or even used as a pizza “sauce”. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get cooking with this tasty and nutritious snack.
We feature this delicious Hummus recipe in our Mediterranean Favorites adult cooking class along with Tzatziki Sauce and Pita Chips, Dolmades, Beef Kofta Kabobs, and a Greek Salad. We’d love to cook with you! Be sure to check-out our upcoming schedule at your nearest Kitchen and find time to join us soon.
