Snack Happy with Zucchini Hummus

Zucchini Hummus
Snack Time Just Got Yummier

Hi friends. Sorry I've been away for a while. I've been stuck down a rabbit hole trying to create a successful (read: tasty) breakfast cookie and failing miserably. After all that hard work, I was in need of a little snack, and I thought you might be, too. This recipe is another great one from my mom, who has been following a raw food diet on and off for the past few years. The idea here is that zucchini replaces the cooked chickpeas and, if you're really into raw, you buy raw tahini as well. For me, it's just a lighter, more refreshing take on traditional hummus. Oh, and super fast and easy. Enjoy!

Zucchini Hummus 
Prep Time: 5 min. Total Time: 10 min. Makes: Approx. 3 cups
2 zucchini, peeled and chopped
2 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled 
3/4 cup tahini
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2-1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cumin

Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
