Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 ml) hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into sticks
- ½ cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange mix)
- ½ medium cucumber, sliced into sticks or rounds
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup snap peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 3–4 radishes, sliced thinly (optional)
- Sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- 1 lemon wedge (for squeezing before eating)
Instructions
- Wash and dry all veggies thoroughly to prevent watery hummus.
- Peel and cut carrots into thin sticks; slice bell peppers into strips; cut cucumber into sticks or rounds; halve cherry tomatoes; trim snap peas; slice radishes thinly if using.
- Spoon about ½ cup (120 ml) of hummus into a small section or ramekin inside your container and smooth the top.
- Arrange the veggies around the hummus, keeping colors balanced and veggies separated to avoid sogginess.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the veggies (optional).
- Include a lemon wedge for squeezing just before eating.
- Seal the containers tightly and store in the fridge if not eating immediately. Best eaten within 24 hours for maximum freshness.
Notes
Use fresh, firm veggies for best crunch. Store cut veggies separately if prepping ahead to keep crisp. Line container base with a paper towel to absorb moisture if packing early. Try flavored hummus varieties or add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cumin for extra flavor. For sesame allergies, substitute hummus with white bean dip or mashed avocado.
