    As we head into the celebratory football and holiday seasons, quick dips become a staple. And we can almost always count on healthy hummus for a nutritious dairy-free option that’s also satisfying. But registered dietitians Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina are challenging you to up your hummus game. They’ve whipped up a classic hummus recipe PLUS five flavorful variations.

    This “Heartwarming Hummus” recipe is a sample from their new book, The Kick Diabetes Cookbook: An Action Plan and Recipes for Defeating Diabetes. It’s a vegan cookbook with a focus on low sugar, high nutrient recipes. You can also expect most of the recipes to be as simple, easy, and versatile as this hummus recipe.

    The healthy hummus recipe below takes just minutes to make and includes all of the delicious variations pictured. They are (clockwise from top left) Green Goddess, Cheesy White Bean, Blushing Beet, Black Bean, and Lime (in the center).

    Special Diet Notes: Heartwarming Healthy Hummus

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan, plant-based, and vegetarian.

    Hummus is magical. It can balance blood glucose levels and is an outstanding source of protein. In addition, it’s quite versatile. Hummus can take the central position on a colorful platter of raw vegetables, provide a quick snack day or night, or be turned into a salad dressing (for a recipe, see page 107 in The Kick Diabetes Cookbook). So keep it handy, near the front of the fridge.
    Author: Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina
    Recipe type: Appetiser
    Cuisine: Middle Eastern

    • ⅓ cup (85 ml) water, as needed
    Instructions
    1. Put the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and optional cayenne in a food processor and process until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the work bowl.

      The cheesy white bean hummus is soooo good! I made it with chickpeas but I don’t think it would make a huge difference either way. It’s so flavorful. Thank you!
