Gut Friendly Crudités with Hummus
Crunchy, colorful, and genuinely satisfying, this platter is the kind of snack or starter that looks impressive without requiring much effort at all. The hummus is blended until silky smooth — that extra few minutes in the food processor really does make a difference — and garlic-infused oil does the heavy lifting on flavor without the digestive discomfort that raw garlic can cause for sensitive stomachs. That swap is one of the reasons this recipe works so well for people who love bold, savory dips but have learned the hard way that traditional versions don't always love them back. A drizzle of oil and a dusting of smoked paprika on top make it look like something from a restaurant spread. The vegetables — carrots, celery, bell pepper, cucumber, and radishes — bring satisfying crunch and a rainbow of textures that make every bite feel fresh and lively. It's the kind of recipe you'll find yourself making on repeat, whether you're feeding a crowd or just treating yourself to something nourishing and genuinely delicious.
