Classic Raw Vegan Zucchini Hummus

February 12, 2019 by Rachel Carr Leave a Comment

You won’t believe that this is not made with garbanzo beans, which are hard to digest raw unless they are carefully sprouted. In fact this raw vegan hummus recipe is very thrifty, being made entirely of zucchini and sunflower, with just a touch of tahini and very little olive oil. It really looks and tastes like hummus, especially when garnished with spices, herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
Try customizing the flavor with sun-dried tomato, olives or spicy chili peppers. This recipe is intended to be a very classic type of hummus but you can easily make it your own.
This hummus is also great in a Mediterranean style lettuce wrap, with tomato, olives, red onion, parsley, avocado, and cucumber! I would also be great in a salad.
