These veggies pair perfectly with my homemade dips and go over well when entertaining guests. Eating raw foods before cooked foods is also optimal for digestion. For example, starting with a crudite platter like this and then following it up with cooked quinoa and/or a vegetable dish digests well.
A little tip for the hummus: I find when soaking beans and making them homemade they digest so much better than eating them from a can.
