Cauliflower Hummus
Considering I have recipes for cheesecake, whipped cream and porridge using cauliflower, I can’t believe that it has taken me so long to finally made a cauliflower dip.


Although there are a variety of dip recipes on the site, this cauliflower hummus is the one which most closely resembles the texture and consistency of traditional chickpea hummus. It’s thick, slightly creamy and so delicious.

Also, this stuff is so much lower in calories, fat and carbs then normal hummus, which makes it perfect for a little mindless snacking because we all have those days.

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have caught my recent post about how to survive long haul flights. One of my favourite snacks to bring on a plane is a bag full of chopped veggies and frozen dip. The night before travelling I freeze 100ml of dip in a zip loc bag and then place it inside the bag of veggies before leaving for the airport so that it keeps them fresh and cool during my journey.

For my recent trip home to Vancouver I used the trick with this cauliflower hummus and am happy to report that it freezes really well.

I love the rich flavour that curry powder adds to the dip which pairs really well with the refreshing flavour of carrot sticks or cucumber. You could also use this hummus as a condiment on a burger or sandwich, or thin it down with some oil and vinegar and use it as a salad dressing.
