Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Jalapeno and Lime Hummus
Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Chickpeas. If you aren't in a hurry to make this and want to be super-healthy, you can make this recipe 100% raw by sprouting your chickpeas instead of using the canned version. Take a look at my Raw Sprouted Chickpea Hummus recipe and it's really good too, you just have to make sure you take into account the extra time to sprout the chickpeas.
Jalapenos. I used (2) jalapenos for an extra spicy flavor, but if you can start with (1) jalapeno if you don't want it too spicy or will be serving this to dish to children.
Avocado Oil. This can be substituted with organic extra-virgin olive oil in the same amount.
Lime Juice. Freshly squeezed lime will give the best flavor and nutrients since it hasn't been pasteurized, but you can also use store-bought organic lime juice.
Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my salt of preference, however, you can always use sea salt.
