What goes well with hummus?
ANSWER
The classic partner for hummus is pita bread, usually in wedges made of white flour.
Instead, pair your dip with a 100% whole-grain pita. You’ll add fiber and vitamins to your lunch.
Even better: Serve your hummus with veggies like cucumber slices, carrot spears, and red pepper wedges. You'll get even more nutrition without adding as many calories as a bread, chip, or cracker.
