Fun Snack Idea: Pomegranate Hummus

December 30, 2014 By Danielle Leave a Comment

Pomegranate Hummus www.redkitchenette.comIf my daughter could eat a box of raisins every single day as her post-nap snack, she would.  And while I often indulge her raisin love, I also like to broaden her snack horizon.  This hummus has been apart of that routine since pomegranate seeds came back into season.  The combination of the juicy and tangy seeds with the savory hummus is unlike many typical hummus combinations.  When those little pomegranate seeds burst with their sweet flavor everyone will be  wanting more.  Full of flavor, loaded with antioxidants & fiber and easy to make,  it’s sure to be a hit with both kiddos and adults.  Serve it with cut-up veggies, crackers or whole-wheat toasted pita bread and enjoy.

With New Years Eve tomorrow, why not try this hummus as a festive party snack!

Slowly add in oil, puree until the hummus is very smooth; add salt to taste if needed. Place into serving bowl and mix half of the pomegranate seeds into the hummus - top with the rest.. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses or garnish with torn mint leaves if using. * The hummus can be made 3 days in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator, just add seeds right before serving.
