For those of you who are hummus junkies but sometimes find the chickpea part of hummus a little heavy or tough on the tummy — this one’s for you. It’s flavorful and creamy and gets its richness from the power pack of healthy fats in the avocado.
The added perk of this version being all raw, it’s incredibly quick to whip up and can be kept thick as a dip, or add more oil (or water) and use it as a sauce over your fave protein.
Creamy Zucchini Hummus
Makes 1½ cups
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini, peeled and chopped (about 2 cups)
- ½ avocado
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cayenne (optional)
Preparation
1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.
2. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
3. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
