Hummus

Over vacation Michael and I stopped at Trader Joe's in DC to fill our hotel room fridge with some healthy snacks.  Hummus is generally healthy although for our Paleo diet they contain chickpeas and we don't eat beans.  Therefore, I came home and was determined to find an amazing recipe.  Welp, I did!  In just one shot!

Here is the amazing recipe!

Paleo Hummus
Ingredients:
1 ¾ cup Zucchini peeled and cut into smaller pieces (I used about 1 and ½ small ones)
½ cup raw, unsalted Macadamia nuts
2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp olive oil
2 ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cumin
dash of cayenne pepper
paprika to garnish

These are optional to add in and I will try later for different flavors: Roasted Red Peppers, Pine Nuts, Artichokes, Sun-Dried Tomato, Black or Kalamata Olives, etc.

Directions:
1.  Put all the ingredients into a food processor (or you can use a blender)
2.  Blend until smooth
3. Garnish with paprika and enjoy!
