Tips

  • You can add any other beans like edamame, white beans, cannellini beans, pinto beans, or black beans.
  • Cut cucumber lengthwise instead of in circles.
  • To make it a well-balanced meal, pair it with naan, hummus, and a protein source like ground beef or other options like tofu, seafood, or chicken.
  • For babies, use baby-specific seasonings like Palates Garden and Herb or Italian seasoning, avoiding salt.
  • You can cut naan into pita chips for dipping.
