Notes

 

Essential Tools

  • mini food processor
  • measuring spoons & cups

Tips/Tricks

  • hummus will be at its best for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge
  • great source of protein & fiber for your toddler, mine demolishes it simply on a spoon or with cruskits (wheat & rye crackers)
  • obviously hold the salt & the toppings in the recipe for toddlers and be aware of nut allergies too
