BLT Hummus Cups
Use thin endive leaves to hold your bacon, tomatoes and hummus. If you don’t have endive handing the inner leaves of romaine hearts will do just fine. This is a great way to use up leftover bacon (if there ever is such a thing) and enjoy this delicious hummus pairing at the same time.

  • Edamame Hummus
  • Buffalo Chicken Hummus Dip
  • Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus
  • Sweet Potato Hummus

Between the lunch recipes above and the variety of hummus recipes you can make at home, all you need is one of these lunch containers for school to hold your lunch!
