Savory Snack Dip

Hummus delivers a winning combo of protein and healthy fat from beans and tahini (ground sesame seeds). Chickpeas are full of fiber, iron, and many B vitamins, including folate for proper cell formation. Make a large batch of hummus early in the week and enjoy with nutrient-rich fresh veggies or fiber-filled whole grain pita chips for dipping.
