We have huge news! We have perfected the Paleo + Whole30 Hummus! We’re bringing you first this Cauliflower Hummus Recipe that’s Whole30 and Paleo, and then we have over TWELVE hummus varieties that we’ll be bringing you over the next year! You’re going to LOVE them all!
We wanted to start with a very basic Cauliflower Hummus Recipe that you can use as the perfect, classic hummus. When you’re doing a Whole30, you can serve this delicious dip recipe with vegetables: think carrots, cucumbers, radishes, bell peppers, and more!
What makes this Cauliflower Hummus Recipe Whole30 + Paleo?
Traditional hummus uses chickpeas (garbanzo beans) as the base. Since chickpeas are a legume and are excluded from the Whole30 and Paleo lifestyles, we’re using cauliflower instead! I love this swap because it’s an extra vegetable, but it tastes exactly the same! Even my kiddos love this recipe and can’t tell the difference. We still use the traditional lemon juice, tahini (ground sesame paste), olive oil, and ground cumin.
How should I serve this hummus?
If you’re not doing a Whole30 and you want a Paleo option, I recommend serving them with these Siete Tortilla Chips. They are SO GOOD. They’re made with cassava flour and avocado oil, a great fat choice. They have chia seeds, too! They’re grain free and such a good match for this cauliflower hummus recipe.
