Ranch Hummus Dip {Kid-Friendly Snacks Recipe}

Ranch hummus dip is an easy to make, healthy snack that’s great as an after-school snack for kids, too!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hidden Valley Ranch Remix. The opinions and text are all mine.

I have a confession to make. I make this ranch hummus dip pretty often. As you know, I am a BIG fan of bean dips.  My youngest and I are not big meat eaters so I eat legumes whenever I can.
That isn’t much of a confession but this is: I make this dip and I do NOT tell my oldest, AKA Mr. Pickypants, what is in it. See, he detests beans of all shapes and colors. I don’t know why, he has never tasted one (willingly), but in his mind BEANS ARE EVIL!!

So when I make this ranch hummus dip, I do NOT tell him that it’s made with white or garbanzo beans.  He can’t taste it, so he doesn’t need to know.  It’s not like it’s hurting him.  Really.

I need to start saving for his therapy now!
So here is one of my easiest recipes. Yes, I use a pack of pre-made Hidden Valley Ranch dip here.  I have made this using dried dill, minced onion, powdered buttermilk and parsley, but I like the taste and consistency of this recipe better. I know it goes against my grain, but I do cut corners when I can. No, I don’t tell #1 Son that it has beans.  I simply tell him it is Ranch Dip, because, well… it is!
There…I said it.

    Try using dried garbanzo beans that have been soaked over night and cooked in boiling water with sea salt instead of canned! Garbanzo beans.
