Chef's Note

  • Nutrition Note: High in fiber, antioxidants, and even vitamin C, this cauliflower hummus is a great way to add even more plants to the plate.
  • Lightly toasting your sesame seeds in a pan or on the stovetop before blending is a great way to add extra flavor to your hummus. The broad variety of spices and herbs in this hummus give it a delicious taste that stands out in any dish, and makes it a great accompaniment for raw or roasted vegetables.
