Cilantro Lime Hummus
This recipe is for those of you that love cilantro. This hummus is fresh, tangy and you don’t even need tahini! You can use it as a dip for veggies, crackers, a spread in a sandwich or wrap, maybe even eat it by the spoonful…it is that yummy. It is as easy as prepping the ingredients, popping them into a food processor, and blending until it is as smooth as you desire.
Not only is it quick and easy to make but it is good for you too. I love chickpeas, they are a great source of protein and are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. I cook chickpeas and freeze them in 1 1/2 cup portions so they are easy to pull out and use in my cooking during the week. For this recipe, you can use canned chickpeas instead so no stress just use what you have. Cilantro is said to possess anti-anxiety effects, regulates blood sugar, improves sleep quality, has antibacterial & antifungal qualities as well to name a few. The concept of food as medicine always makes me do a happy dance.
This recipe makes a big batch so you can always cut it in half if you want to but full disclosure it likely won’t last very long if you love hummus, cilantro, and zesty lime!
I hope you enjoy!
