Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation

Method

-------- ------------

--------------------------------

2 zucchini -- peeled and chopped

1/2 cup raw tahini

1/3 cup fresh lime juice -- or lemon

juice

1/4 cup cold pressed olive oil*

4 cloves garlic -- minced

1 teaspoon celtic sea salt

1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

 

Blend ingredients in a high speed blender until

smooth, adding more salt and lemon juice to taste if

you like. Don't blend too long or the friction of the

blades will cook your hummus.

 

*Edited to add: since this is a cold recipe, you could

always substitute flax oil for the olive oil. Not sure

how it would taste, but I can imagine it would be

quite good!

NOTES : AuthorNote: Since it's made from zucchini,

this hummus is very light and fluffy. It's a perfect

summer dip, and if you like, you can cut back on the

oil to be a little nicer to your heart. It's perfect

for carrots, celery, sliced peppers... you name it!
