Hummus is a popular dip in Mediterranean cuisine, often made with chickpeas, but this variation uses almond pulp for a nutty flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond pulp
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2-3 tbsp water (as needed)
  • fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

  1. 1In a food processor, combine the almond pulp, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, and salt.
  2. 2Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. 3With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated.
  4. 4If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
