Red, White, and Blue Hummus Platter

July 4th is right around the corner, so you’re likely getting ready to set your barbecue table with lots of healthy and not-so-healthy goodies.  This July 4th I have a new and healthier snack for you thats both sweet and savory that your kids are sure to love – it’s this red, white and blue hummus platter with watermelon instead of chips to use for your hummus dip!

Watermelon is sweet, delicious, seasonal and also loaded with muscle-healthy magnesium, anti-cancer lycopene and is also super hydrating. Hummus is also a great addition to your party table because it’s loaded with fiber and is more satisfying and heart-healthy than some other dips (ahem, cheese dip!).

Use colorful napkins to make this dish even more fun, and try my hummus recipe below if you want to really work from scratch!
