If you like to experiment with new flavor combinations, you will appreciate this Orange Hummus Recipe.
As you might know, hummus is really easy to make. All you have to do is place all ingredients into a food processor and blend everything to combine. You can also use 1 can (540ml/19 oz) of chickpeas if you don’t want to soak and cook them.
Traditionally, hummus is prepared with tahini (sesame seeds paste). I didn’t use it but if you like it, just add 2 to 3 tablespoons.
Orange gives a really fresh unexpected flavor to this dish. I served it with roasted cauliflower that I prepared using this recipe and it was amazing!
This hummus also goes well with green leafy salads or in wraps.
Hummus also makes a great low glycemic snack when combined with some raw, steamed, or roasted veggies. Chickpeas are packed with healthy nutrients including protein, fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium and more. Olive oil gives you some healthy fat. And vegetables come with a whole package of vitamins and antioxidants.
In addition, this Orange Hummus looks very pretty thanks to the bright yellow color. It’s almost like a small sun, isn’t it?
Enjoy!

Nice! Always add the tahini though! Tahini makes everything better tasting and better for you :-)
