Best Low Fat Red Pepper Hummus Recipes

LOW FAT RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Low Fat Red Pepper Hummus image

This recipe is inspired by the many hummus recipes I have seen, but had added oil & were lacking the flavor I was seeking. It's classified as Greek for the actual Hummus part, and Indian for the coriander/cumin/cayenne combo, which is common in Indian food, and gives this dip an interesting twist. Tahini is sesame (seed) butter, and the best thing to use for the right flavor, but use peanut butter instead if you have to.

LOW FAT RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Low Fat Red Pepper Hummus image

I love Hummus for a dip, as opposed to other, fatty types of dips. How much Tahini you add to Hummus determines how much fat it contains. This recipe calls for only 2 tablespoons.
