Sriracha Lime Hummus
Hummus is a perfect refrigerator staple for all homes. Kick it up a notch by making Sriracha Lime Hummus, a savory and zesty alternative.
In our home, EVERYONE eats hummus – well, besides for Baby Y because he’s too small. But M, who’s only three, loves dipping carrots into hummus. It’s a great way to sneak some protein into his diet, and since kids tend to love dipping, it works great.
This Sriracha Lime Hummus might be slightly less kid-friendly because of the kick the sriracha and lime give it, but there’s no reason not to give it a try! Kids can surprise you with what they will or won’t eat…

While the recipe has some Sriracha sauce (a Thai hot sauce), you can likely swap it out for a similar hot sauce and get a good flavor as well. Sriracha is available Kosher certified by the OU from Kikkoman (it used to be hard to find Kosher Sriracha.)
In a home like ours, where we go through Costco sized tubs of hummus every week, we can never get enough! Homemade hummus is so easy – you really just need a blender (I have this one) or food processor (I got this inexpensive one for making potato kugel and it works like a charm), dump your ingredients, and blend. You can then garnish it or blend in all sorts of other flavors, making it a versatile staple that you won’t be able to live without!
