Hummus and Vegetable Crudités

Creamy, lemony hummus is a snap to make at home and a perfect partner to a spring platter of crunchy vegetables. You can serve the vegetables suggested here or use what you have on hand or what looks good at the market. Red and orange bell pepper strips, lightly blanched broccoli or cauliflower florets, or cherry tomatoes make great additions. Add some crunchy crostini, too, if you like.
