Raw Zucchini Hummus Recipe

Raw Zucchini Hummus Recipe

Need a yummy crowd-pleasing dip to take to an upcoming event? This is the dip for you! Because it has a zucchini base instead of a chickpea base, it’s lighter and easier to digest (especially if you are easily prone to gassiness and bloating!).

Zucchini and it’s Benefits…

Did you know that zucchini is a fruit? That may be a surprise to many of us since zucchini is most often cooked in most dishes. The younger zucchini have a more subtle taste than the more fully developed (which are usually more than 8 inches long). With a soft covering and buttery white flesh, almost all the parts of zucchini are edible- including the flesh, seeds and the skin.

What’s so amazing about this fruit is that it is extremely high in water and fiber, but low in calories (even though you know how I feel about counting calories), so gives you the feeling of being full. It’s a great way to satisfy your appetite without reaching for other foods that could throw you off in your health and eating for beauty eating routines.

Now let’s get blending! ;)

Prepare your ingredients.

Add your zucchini to food processor and the tahini.

Add fresh lemon juice.

Add the garlic, salt and pepper.

Process until creamy and well blended.

Serve with raw, fresh veggies and enjoy!
