Welcome to day six of my Friends by Recipes Challenge!
Today, I would like you all to meet a spunky girl named Sarah who owns the Smart Kitchen blog!
She is a fairly new friend of mine, and I am loving every bit of her posts! She combines “Healthy, Economical, Creative, and Realistic” to create fantastic tasting food!
Today I am sharing her Zucchini Hummus with you!
2 medium large zucchinis, peeled and chopped
Juice of 1 large lemon (5-6 Tbsp.)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/3-1/2 cup raw tahini
1/4 c. chopped sweet onion
Combine all ingredients into a food processor. Blend away! Serve as a dip with raw veggies, crackers, or whole grain pita bread (or chips!).
- Following her recipe, I placed the ingredients in a food processor….
- And devoured it with a red pepper! (I’m eating a veggie on top of a veggie!!)
This was so, so good! It has a lighter flavor than regular hummus, but it still packs a punch! I will be making this again, Sarah!
Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
What is your favorite hummus flavor?
I really love Roasted Red Pepper Hummus! I usually like making my own, but when I’m busy I will grab a huge tub of Sabra from Costco! I like their roasted red pepper, too, but I also love their olive flavor. Sabra’s hummus is extremely creamy (probably because of the high-fat content ๐ )
So glad you liked it! I was just thinking I might have to mix up some of this again soon… ๐
OH, I am watching my grains and legumes…this is perfect.
on the printer!
nice job!!
the roasted red pepper is my favorite!!! I’ll definitely have to try this though. I’ve got a zucchini just dying to be used!
Ooooh, this may actually have just answered the question I had about my dip recipe (hummus, cottage cheese, spinach, alfalfa sprouts) this morning – thank you!!! I was going to try a vegan version of it with mashed cauliflower, but wasn’t sure how it would turn out and this makes me feel better about the idea! And if not, I’ll of course know that zucchini works! This recipe looks great!
I was surprised to see that this hummus has no chickpeas! It sounds delicious though, I’ll have to give this a try!
It is a toss up between red pepper hummus and beet hummus. Both are good for different reasons. Honestly, I like all kinds of hummus as long as it is smooth and creamy. ๐ The hummus recipe you posted looks really good.
This hummus looks great. I’ve seen this before but have yet to try it.
My favorite hummus flavors is chipotle lime with cilantro. YUM!
I’ve never tried that before!!! But that flavor combo sounds super good ๐ Do you make your own?
yum! i’ve never tried zucchini hummus, but i love the idea.:)
