Harvest Hummus
Try this seasonal dip that’s enjoyed by one of the school districts the Life Time Foundation has partnered with to improve kids’ meals.
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.
