Hummus

Makes approximately 2 cups
A small bowl of hummus with brightly coloured vegetables, sitting on a chopping board.

Serve this fresh and tasty dip with crunchy vegetables such as cucumbers, carrots and capsicum – the more colourful the better. For an easy summer lunch or dinner, spread hummus on sandwiches or rolls, and top with sliced capsicum or tomato. So good!
