Cauliflower Hummus

If you love hummus (and who doesn’t?!), you’ll love this creamy cauliflower hummus! It’s easy and full of flavour.

Hummus

We are HUGE hummus fans at my house. The kids adore it and we have it at least once a week. Hummus is easy to make, healthy and delicious.

But I thought I’d get creative. If pureed chickpeas make hummus, what about a vegetable?

What about cauliflower?

Cauliflower Hummus

Cauliflower blends up nice and creamy and has a pleasant, mild flavour.

I’ve added the traditional hummus ingredients of tahini, garlic and lemon juice to liven it up and in minutes I had a special new take on my family’s favourite dip.

One of the best things about making hummus is being able to tweak the ingredients to taste, so go ahead and adjust this recipe until you get the lemon and garlic balance just how you like it.

If you’re looking for other dips, try my beet hummus, or hot spinach artichoke dip or french onion dip.

Can we discuss the spelling of hummus now? Houmus/humus/hummus. It drives me mad and I’m never quite sure which is right. How do you spell it?

Whatever way it’s spelled, it’s awesome. I love it on buddha bowls, carrot hummus sandwiches, and for veggies and dip of course! It’s also perfect on falafel waffles.
