Why You'll Love This Recipe

Bold & Zesty: This Garlic Lime Hummus has bold flavor from the garlic and a zesty kick from the lime making it the perfect dip for tortilla chips.

Easy: I love this homemade hummus because it's incredibly easy, just add everything to your food processor and pulse until smooth.

Healthy: Organic hummus is a delicious and healthy snack.

Organic Hummus: While some store bought hummus can have seed oils and other ingredients that are not necessary, this homemade hummus uses only extra virgin olive oil and a few simple organic ingredients.

Ingredients & Health Benefits

  • Chickpeas: Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fiber, aiding digestion and supporting stable blood sugar levels. Make sure to drain chickpeas from a can.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation. My favorite is Carapelli.
  • Garlic: Garlic contains allicin, which boosts the immune system and provides anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits. I use fresh garlic here, but you can also use minced garlic. Use the ratio of 1 teaspoon pre clove.
  • Lime: Limes are high in vitamin C, which enhances immune function and supports skin health.
  • Garlic Powder: Garlic powder retains many of garlic's benefits, including antioxidant properties and immune system support. My favorite organic garlic power is from Frontier Co-Op.
  • Salt and Pepper: Salt in moderation helps maintain electrolyte balance and proper muscle function, while pepper contains piperine, which enhances nutrient absorption and has anti-inflammatory properties.
