    Just found this recipe for Zucchini Hummus. Not sure how it tastes, I’m planning to try making it this weekend…but sounds yummy.’

    Zucchini Hummus
    makes approximately 1 cup
    2 cups diced zucchini
    2 cloves garlic
    3 tablespoons tahini
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon salt
    Blitz everything together in a food processor until smooth.
    The zucchini will create excess liquid, so be sure to stir the hummus to reincorporate before serving.

    John, Didn’t you try making it with some Frank’s hot sauce? How did it turn out? Share the recipe if you can.

      Sounds good. Let us know how it turns out! I’m still perfecting the Frank’s Hummus Recipe. The first batch was good, but I’m still tweaking it. As soon as I perfect it I’ll send you a copy.
