Instructions
Prepare four small batches of hummus base. Keep one batch plain.

Mix turmeric into the second batch for a bright yellow color.
Mix spirulina powder into the third batch until you achieve a light blue or green hue.
Mix smoked paprika into the fourth batch for an orange color.
Arrange the four different colored hummus dips in separate small bowls on a large serving platter or board.
Arrange the prepared vegetables (carrots, red pepper, broccoli, yellow pepper, cabbage) around the hummus bowls in rainbow order for maximum visual appeal.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each hummus portion.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the entire board just before serving.

Notes
To make your own plain hummus base, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and water until smooth.
For extra flavor, add a drop of natural food coloring if you cannot find the powdered spices listed.
This aesthetic hummus board idea works well with pita chips or gluten-free crackers as well.
