Keep this hummus refrigerated until you're ready to serve it. I keep this hummus recipe for 5 to 7 days in a pint-sized glass snap lock container. (That's an affiliate link.) Keeping it in the glass helps because that way the kids see it, and remember that it is there. Plus, we try not to store food in plastic if we can help it.  Just make sure that nobody dips anything other than a clean spoon or spatula into the hummus, and it should stay fresh for 5 to 7 days. Tell the kiddos, no dunking veggies or chips right into the storage container!! Veggies, even those that have been washed, can contain spores that can cause the hummus to go bad sooner than it needs to. Remember, this hummus doesn't have preservatives in it!
