I am a huge hummus lover, so when I began to change my eating habits hummus was an item I didn’t want to let go of … so I didn’t.
I talk a lot about being able to come up with healthier versions of the foods you love and this recipe was a terrific alternative.
Now I can still have my delicious hummus, but don’t feel bloated and inflamed from it!
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, cut in half, pitted, peeled
1/8 cup of lemon juice
1/8 cup of lime juice
1 tablespoon of diced red onion
1/4 cup of chopped grape tomatoes
1/8 – 1/4 c of cilantro
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
½ tablespoon tahini
½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place all the ingredients (except tomatoes and cilantro) in the food processor and turn it on low for at least 60 seconds and let all the magic happen. Make sure you check when you are done that you have no large chunks of avocado hiding in the middle.
Place in a large bowl and top with grape tomatoes and cilantro.
I like to eat mine with cut up zucchini, cucumber, carrots, celery, or all of the above.
Enjoy!
