SERVING IDEAS

It goes really well with Rosemary and Sesame Seed Crackers or Paleo Crackers. However if you are short on time, my favourite store bought crackers are Ceres Organics Brown Rice Crackers with Chia and Carman’s Rosemary & Sea Salt Super Seed & Grain Crackers.


This 5 minute hummus also goes well with carrot and celery sticks or you can use in your Buddha bowl or salad.
