Sides

Zucchini Hummus

This zucchini hummus tastes much better than how it looks (sorry for not having a beautiful picture; I quickly made it and served it to my toddler than realized I should have taken a picture haha!) Oh well! You get the idea of how it looks though.

This hummus is healthy and paleo friendly as it doesn’t use chickpeas but zucchini. Make sure to peel the zucchini if you don’t want your hummus to be green haha! It’s also vegan and gluten-free.

It’s easy and quick to make, and is great with crudités, pita bread or to use in sandwiches, on top of salads or as a side dish . It’s nutritious too and a great way to eat tahini. Tahini is a good source of protein and calcium.

Enjoy!
