I Just whipped up a batch!! I added some more garlic and hot pepper (because thats what I like) and it was FANTASTIC!! I am taking it with me to school today with some Veggie for dinner 🙂 Thanks again Tess!!
Oh, I LIKE your blend Mallory! YUMMO!
Thanks for sharing. I LOVE taking it this with veggie sticks for my lunch too 🙂
Omg. Another winner! This will become a staple for me like so many of your recipes, blender girl. I added some scallions to my batch.
I just joined pinterest and this was my first pin. I think. If I “pinned” correctly.
LOL! Elaine, I haven’t figured out Pinterest yet either! You are ahead of me!
I am HONOURED to be your first “Pin”.
Thankyou for all of your support and encouragement. I means SO much to me!
This hummus came out great! Loved it! Thanks!
Oh Thanks Kibby!
I appreciate all of your feedback so much!
LOL! Great Lily! Enjoy 🙂
LOVE IT! Like regular hummus, except… Oh yes, SO MUCH BETTER!!!!! Great, delicious combination of veg… The paprika is on the money, as is the cayenne pepper!!!! Genius, I tell you. Go on, folks – Be a wee bit spicy, you won’t regret it 😉
Thanks!
I like this better than regular hummus too 🙂
I LOVE the spicy hit too….
Made this recipe yesterday after a 5 day cleanse..it was so bitter it was inedible! If I make it again I will use way less tahini.
Wow, thankyou for that feedback. I receive a ton of tweets and emails about this recipe and nobody has ever said that….interesting….it may be the cucumbers you used. Were they bitter?
I was just going through nearly every dip on your pinterest and I must say — you just seem like the nicest person!!! Also I love the recipes. Thanks!
Thankyou, that is lovely. Yes, this dip is a winner…and isn’t pinterest SO much fun? Great to be connected 🙂
Would this work without the oil? I don’t use any added oils.
Yes. Just substitute with more water.
Great post. But what’s meant by “omit if alkaline” in the line about the spices? I didn’t see anything referencing the alkalinity of the spices in the post. Thank you.
Sorry about that. That was a mistake made by my assistant when we reformatted recipes.
Is 1/2 cup tahini correct in recipe? It seems like a lot and it would make it biter and over power.
Yes, It is. But, you can start with 1/4 cup or 1/3 and add to taste.
what do you think would happen if I omitted the zucchini, or what would you use instead?
Unfortunately, the zucchini is the key ingredient. It is what makes the hummus hold together, and what give it a great texture. You could try making this with coconut meat.
