Hummus is a favorite dip in our house! We find lots of ways to zest up the flavor when we make our own such as this Smoked Paprika Hummus or Boiled Peanut Hummus or when we dress up store-bought hummus like Mediterranean Hummus Dip. And sometimes, we just use hummus straight from the container, pop it in a cute container or muffin tin (we LOVE muffin tin snacks!), add fresh veggies and call it a day!

Container Ideas for Dip

You can often find colorful little pots at the Dollar Store or Target. I found the ones used in these photos in the Dollar Spot at Target labeled as candle holders. Just make sure that whatever style you choose they are food safe and wash them before you use them. If you are in doubt, line them with plastic wrap. You can also find fun shot glasses or even paper cups that hold just the right amount. Here are a few favorite finds: 

      

Depending on the size of your pots, you may need to stuff with a little foil at the bottom. This just keeps the portions in check since you want to use around 2 tablespoons per pot.

Best Spring Veggies for Snacks

Get creative with your veggies. Use whatever your family loves that is fresh, colorful, and inspiring. Prep the vegetables ahead of time and store them in an airtight container. Since hummus can get crusty on top when exposed to air, make sure you prepare the Individual Spring Veggie Hummus Cups and serve within an hour. These guides from my friends at Healthy Family Project will help guide you to find the freshest most delicious seasonal veggies…
