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.
