Zucchini Hummus
Description
Zucchini Hummus starts with diced zucchini, which can be peeled for milder taste if preferred. It is combined with raw tahini, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, and ground cumin in a food processor and blended until smooth and creamy. Adjustments to lemon juice, garlic, and salt allow customization of the flavor profile. The result is a dip that balances the slight vegetal sweetness of zucchini with tahini’s richness and cumin’s earthiness.
The texture is creamy but lighter than chickpea hummus, making it easy to serve as a chilled dip. This spread pairs nicely with fresh veggies, pita bread, or crackers as a snack or starter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup zucchini peel if you like, diced
- 1/3 cup tahini raw
- 2 lemon juice fresh, up to 3 tablespoons
- 1 garlic minced, up to 2 cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste, sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients into a mini food chopper, starting with just 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, then add more lemon juice, garlic, and salt as desired to make your perfect dip.
- Serve chilled with your favorite veggies or crackers.
