Wasabi Hummus

The Azuki BeaN Mamas made a special dip for Girl’s Day.  Hinamatsuri, also known as Girl’s Day or Japanese Doll Festival, is celebrated on March 3.  It's a day for the Japanese dolls to be brought out.  Didn't set any up this year, but enjoyed a yummy lunch of ginger chicken and other finger foods.  This dip jazzed up our lunch and was a fun snack.   It’s delicious with veges or try it with your favorite crispy crackers.  It has a little kick to it for the wild child in all of us.  Enjoy!
