Homemade Hummus For Afternoon Snacking

Ever had hummus? They're wonderful as dips for healthy snacking. You can use any popular snacks to eat with hummus such as chips, bread, celeries, roasted asparagus, etc.

A few days ago, I made something simple for my friends. It consisted of sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and pita bread. Simple, yet amazing. The recipe for the hummus is below.

In my opinion, you can never have enough tomatoes in your diet. It's a rich source of beta carotene for keeping your skin healthy and avoiding acne. Taste delicious, too.
