    Raw Zucchini Hummus | The Healthy Family and Home

    Here's Why This Recipe Works

    My top 3 favorite reasons:

    1. Made Without Chickpeas - Finding a hummus recipe made without chickpeas can be challenging, but this recipe is made with fresh summer zucchini!
    2. Ready In Under 5 Minutes - It can be made in a manner of minutes with a Vitamix or even a good food processor.
    3. Made With Clean, Real Food Ingredients - It's made with only 7 clean ingredients such as zucchini, tahini, sesame seeds, lemon, ground cumin, avocado oil, and Himalayan pink salt.

    Serve it with cucumbers, slices of red bell peppers or even gluten-free crackers and this healthy dip and it will be gone in minutes!

    This healthy plant-based recipe is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, paleo-friendly and Medical Medium compliant.

    How To Make This Recipe: Step-By-Step Instructions

    Here is how to make this recipe and I'll show you how easy it is with step-by-step instructions below.

    Step 1: Prep The Zucchini

    You'll need to take a quick minute to peel the zucchini and then cut it into cubes before adding it to your Vitamix.

    Step 2: Prepare The Zucchini Hummus

    The only other thing you need to do is add all the ingredients to your Vitamix and blend until everything is creamy and smooth.

    Take a taste and adjust the seasonings if you prefer.

    Step 3: Store The Zucchini Hummus

    Store your hummus in an air-tight BPA-free container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. 

    I like to use a glass mason jar to store mine in but any non-toxic storage container will work.

    Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions

    Zucchini. As mentioned earlier, you want to peel the zucchini before adding them to your Vitamix. Also, cutting them into small pieces, like a cube shape, will help them blend easier.

    Tahini. I love to make homemade tahini and you can too in about 5 minutes using just a food processor. If you're in a hurry or don't want to make homemade tahini, you can always use organic store-bought tahini.

    Lemon Juice. Using freshly squeezed lemon juice will give you a more intense lemon flavor and nutrients, but you can also use an organic store-bought lemon juice.

    Avocado Oil. This is my healthy oil of preference, but you can substitute it with organic extra-virgin olive oil without affecting the flavor profile.

    Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my preferred salt but you can always use sea salt as a substitution.

    Vitamix. If you don't have a Vitamix, you should be able to make it in a regular blender or even a food processor since it's made with "soft" ingredients but I haven't tested it with either of those.

    Recipe Notes

    Tahini: You can use an organic store-bought brand or make your own homemade tahini.
