Mead School District found a way to save costs and add hummus to its menu. “Tahini paste is expensive, so one of our assistant managers, Mary Epley, came up with this recipe that omits it and still tastes great,” says Child Nutrition Director Kim Elkins. The district uses the hummus in wraps for a veggie option or as a veggie dip.
