Ho ho ho, Healthy Claus here to stuff your stockings full of fresh veggies and hummus so gear up! Get those Boulder Canyon potato chips out–it’s Santa Veggie Tray time. What better way to celebrate the season then to create this ultra easy-to-make dip? Let’s be real, with all the cookies, cakes, and chocolate you are going to endure this season (read: already are enduring…and no judgment), you at least need a few dishes that are not only festive but still filled with a balance of goodness. It’s why I always grab for the Boulder Canyon brand. They have a unique selection of different better-for-you oils that they cook their potatoes in (like Rice Bran, Coconut, Avocado oils).
