Raw food hummus recipe

Raw zucchini hummus, served with raw flax crackers for dipping

Most raw food hummus recipes use sprouted garbanzo beans or nuts, but this one uses zucchini, instead. Before trying this adaptation, I'd completely given up on a raw hummus, as my several other attempts using everything from fermented sunflower seed cheese to cashews just weren't all that great. But this raw hummus using zucchini is a keeper! Make some easy raw flax crackers to use as dippers for your raw hummus, or just use some chopped veggies. I like using celery and red bell peppers. Yum!

Ingredients:

  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1/3 cup cold-pressed olive oil (or another neutral oil, such as flax oil)
  • 1/3 cup raw tahini
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients together in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings, to taste.

Too much olive oil, Guest Aliz

The end result had the consistency of a sauce, not a hummus, and had a strong taste of olive oil. I will try again but leave out the olive oil altogether, or add max 1 tbs.
