“Raw” Zucchini Hummus

 

Here’s a yummy recipe for a last minute cocktail party or lunch.. This hummus is made with fresh organic zucchini instead of chickpeas… it’s lighter and airy and REALLY tasty.

Zucchini is a good source of protein, Vita C, and some necessary minerals like magnesium AND it’s very low in calories. I added tahini (ground sesame seeds), a good source of calcium and some garlic.

Here’s the recipe;

“Raw” Zucchini Hummus

2 cups zucchini ( chop into 1 inch pieces)
