A bowl of Harvest Hummus with raw, sliced veggies on the side.

This recipe was inspired by Naimah Muhammed, a student at Minneapolis Public Schools, a partner of the Life Time Foundation. The district used their grant from the Foundation to purchase kitchen equipment to prepare fresh produce and made-from-scratch foods — like this hummus. Try it with your preferred veggies for a seasonal take on a favorite dip.
