Directions
Hummus, this Mediterranean healthy vegan fast food dish, is now popular all over America. This dish is a low carb vegan twist to the original recipe. We replaced the chickpeas with mashed cauliflower and we also ditched the traditional pita bread and served this dish with veggies. Dipping a stick of cucumber or kohlrabi in the Hummus is an amazing replacement to the high carb pita bread. The rest of the ingredients for the Hummus are the same.
