Green-It-Up Hummus

Wood-grain bowl holding green dip. Garnished with garbanzo beans, pita triangles and olive oil and pepper. Sitting on gray surface.

Scallions help make this oh-so-tasty twist on the traditional hummus mmmmm-memorable. 

Buy some at the store, or grow your own…Cut off the green parts and save the white ends with the tiny roots. Pop in a glass of water and watch the greens regrow…even after just a few hours you’ll see a difference! Keep on snipping off the greens and those little white ends will keep producing for a long, long time!
