Do you know how to do low fat Hummus ??

Prep time: 10 minutes
Time from start to eating: 10 minutes
Makes enough for about 2 cups of hummus.






  • 1 can chickpeas (or 1/2 cup dried, fully cooked)
  • 1 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 1 tsp salt (approx)
  • 1 tsp cumin (optional)
  • Radishes, cut into sticks
  • Carrots, cut into sticks
  • Cucumber, cut into sticks
  • Possible garnishes: fresh parsley, paprika, cumin
  1. Rinse and drain the chickpeas. If you are using dried beans, they will need to be fully cooked before you start. 
  2. Add chickpeas to a food processor (best choice) or blender (works ok) with enough water to come halfway up the beans. Blend to a thick paste, then add tahini, lemon juice and garlic and blend to a light cream, adding more water if necessary.
  3. Spread the hummus on a plate, and sprinkle with any or all of: chopped fresh parsley, paprika and cumin.
  4. Serve with vegetable sticks for dipping. I hope you enjoy this low fat hummus recipe, the latest of my healthy vegan recipes. What do you think? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
