Tip the hummus into a bowl, add the carrot and mix well.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice, but mind you don’t squirt it in your eyes.

Snip the coriander into little pieces using scissors and stir it into the hummus. Serve with the toasted pitta bread.

RECIPE TIPS

TOP TIP FOR PARENTS

Using a ready-made product, such as hummus, is a good way to encourage children to experiment with adding flavours to something they already like. You can also try adding chopped ripe tomatoes, sliced spring onion, mashed avocado or puréed red peppers.
