Zucchini Hummus

1 1/2 cups raw zucchini, peeled and chopped   (3.3 carbs)
2 tbsp raw tahini            (5 carbs)
2 tbsp lemon juice            (2 carbs)
2 cloves crushed garlic         
1 tbsp olive oil               
1/4 tsp ground cumin            
1/4 tsp paprika               
1/2 tsp salt               

Put all ingredients in food processor or high speed blender and blend until smooth.

Dip for cucumber slices, celery, or other low carb veggies.
Can also use it as a spread for lettuce rollups with your favorite deli meats.


Makes about 2 cups 11 carbs total or 2.75 carbs per 1/2 cup serving

I think I have overlooked this recipe  :)  Just thought I would add though that when I copied it into my recipe program it came up with 13.89 net carbs for the recipe.  Not too much of a difference but a good example of where carbs can sneak in and add up when you aren't looking  ;)

I think the mis-count is with the zucchini, garlic, and cumin.   ::)

Sounds delicious...I plan to make it soon   ;D

Hi, Shawn! :)

Halloween is the kick off of the "Sugar Season".
Between then and New Year's day, are the most challenging times.
Most people gain more weight that time of year than any other.

But with FTS alternatives, it will make the holiday season MUCH healthier!
Here's to a healthy 2013 holiday season for our entire FTS family! ;D ;D ;D

Tony
What you do today is what matters!
