Description

This innovative hummus offers a fresh take on a beloved classic, transforming the traditional recipe into a lighter, more vibrant experience. Instead of relying on chickpeas, this version features the delicate flavor of zucchini, expertly blended to create a smooth and satisfying base. The zucchini's mildness allows the other flavors to truly shine, resulting in a dip that is both subtly sweet and incredibly versatile.

The addition of roasted red bell pepper elevates this hummus to another level of deliciousness. Roasting the peppers coaxes out their natural sugars, lending a deep, smoky sweetness that perfectly complements the zucchini's gentle taste. The vibrant color of the roasted peppers also adds a visual appeal, transforming the hummus into a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

This hummus boasts a luxuriously creamy texture, making it an ideal accompaniment to a variety of snacks and meals. Its smooth consistency makes it perfect for dipping, spreading, or dolloping onto your favorite dishes.

The possibilities are endless. Beyond its incredible taste and texture, this hummus also offers a nutritious alternative to traditional dips. Packed with vitamins and minerals from the zucchini and red bell pepper, it's a healthy and wholesome choice for any occasion.

Whether you're looking for a guilt-free snack or a flavorful addition to your next gathering, this hummus is sure to impress. Serve this delectable hummus with an assortment of colorful raw vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers, for a light and refreshing appetizer. Alternatively, pair it with your favorite crackers or pita bread for a more substantial snack.

You can even use it as a flavorful spread for sandwiches and wraps, adding a burst of freshness and flavor to your lunchtime routine. This versatile hummus is a welcome addition to any table, offering a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the flavors of fresh vegetables.

Instructions

    1.
    Peel the zucchini and slice into half-inch discs. Add the zucchini to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain completely and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
    2.
    Add the cooked zucchini to a food processor along with tahini, minced garlic, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, roasted red bell pepper, and salt. Blend until a smooth and creamy base forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
    3.
    With the food processor still running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated, creating a smooth and emulsified texture. Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic to achieve the desired flavor profile.
