Ingredients in Keto Hummus
- Zucchini: Zucchini is the star of the show in this keto hummus recipe. It is a great substitution for chick peas in taste and texture.
- Avocado: The avocado adds a rich creaminess to the hummus and combined with the zucchini, really helps to mimic the taste and texture of traditional hummus.
- Tahini: Tahini is a creamy seed butter made from ground toasted sesame seeds. It is a staple ingredient in hummus.
- Olive oil: I recommend using a high quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is definitely the way to go here.
- Cumin: A little cumin goes a long way, but it adds the perfect warm, earthy flavor.

I love this recipe so much that just the thought of it makes me salivate and want to run to the store hoping to find a ripe avocado. I'm about to make my third batch now.

Why don't you eat garbanzo beans any more...are they not good for you? Are they considered an inflammatory food?
Kim says
Don't have tahini - can't get it readily. Can I sub with anything or just skip it altogether?

Even though I'm not crazy about avocados, I might actually give this a try 🙂
