Green Hummus Dip

Have a look at our post on why we love dips so much and why dips are great for kids. This is a green goodness twist on the classic hummus. We recently asked you on our Facebook page what your kids favourite dips were. Hummus was a stand out. Perfect on sandwiches, on its own, or used as a dip, but you can also add other veggies to the humble hummus to make something new and delicious. We love the addition of green goodness vegetables, they also make for a great coloured dip which the kids will love.

Nutrition Note: A percentage of many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are lost when cooking vegetables so using raw broccoli and zucchini in this recipe maximises their nutrient content.
