Healthy Pumpkin Hummus
Hummus is very simple to make if you have a food processor or a blender. The ingredients can
all go in together and be whizzed for a few seconds.
Keep the seasonings mild for this recipe, not all children will be used to these types of flavors.
Remember to check allergies before you start and taste as you go to find the flavour you want.
The hummus can be served with crackers, cucumber, lettuce, sugar snap peas or any green
vegetable.
