Hummus is one of the best healthy snacks. It makes the perfect dip for all your favourite fresh veggies, a delicious spread on sandwiches or wraps, and a great addition to different bowls and platters! Can it get any better? Yes, it can. Just add some microgreens!

In this recipe, we added our weekend’s leftover pea shoots! It only takes 10 minutes to make! If you want spicy hummus, replace the pea shoots with some radish and cress microgreens. Grow Your Microgreens at Home!! No need to purchase hummus from the store again.
