Recipe 21 - 😋 If you want to add more healthy fats to your diet, try this hummus! You might find you like it even better this way.

It’s a super easy variation of traditional hummus that uses walnuts instead of tahini. The orange lends a bright note, too!

✅TIP: If you like a little heat, add a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce.

What You'll Need‍

Makes 8 servings‍

• 2 cups (300 grams) chickpeas, drained & rinsed
• 1 cup (110 grams) walnuts
• 2 tbsp walnut oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ⅓ tsp orange zest
• ¼ cup (60 ml) orange juice
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• Pinch of black pepper
  

What To Do

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC). On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toast the walnuts until golden, about 5-7 minutes – stir once halfway through. Set aside to cool.

Using a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the chickpeas until well combined.

Add the walnuts and blend until they are incorporated. Add the remaining ingredients and continue to blend until they reach a thick “hummus-y” consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Pour into a serving bowl and place in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors combine. Enjoy!
