Easy Everything Hummus -

One of the things I enjoy about the kids being on school holiday breaks is the chance to create more snacks and mini meals. When school is out, we all tend to be on different schedules for sleep, work, and eating. We enjoy having several snacks, appetizers, and small meals readily available so we can relax while on a less rigid schedule. This week, our favorite was a flavorful everything hummus dip. It’s so easy to make and each of us can enjoy it with our favorite sides or dippers.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Ingredients for Everything Hummus:

2 cups canned chickpeas
1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp baking soda
3 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
½ tsp ground cumin
1/2 tbsp steak seasoning mix
salt and pepper
3 tbsp water
1 tbsp sliced green olives
1 tbsp sliced black olives
2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese

Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
In a medium-size pot, add the chickpeas and baking soda and water. Bring chickpea mixture to a boil on medium heat for 8-10 minutes. You chickpeas should be soft. Drain and rinse chickpeas with cold water.
Using a blender or food processor, add chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, sea salt and pepper and blend at high for roughly 30 seconds. Gradually add in the 3 tbsp of water as you blend.
Continue blending on high speed for 1-2 more minutes, seasoning to taste if necessary. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a bit of water if needed.
Add into a serving bowl and garnish with feta cheese, olives, and your steak seasoning mix (chunks of garlic, sea salt, pepper, and onion)

Options for Hummus Dipping

I am a huge fan of pita bread or pita bread chips with my hummus. My new favorite pita chips are a baked cheddar flavor and add just the right amount of flavor to the everything hummus. Alternatively, I love to keep celery sticks and baby carrots on hand and they make for great dipping snacks. The kids love them and they are a great way to get a dose of healthy food into them after a long day at school.
