It&#8217;s there that I had my very first taste of hummus. Hard to believe, I know, but it had always looked gross to me. But on this trip, halfway around the world, in an organic restaurant using only fresh delicious food (with lots of raw food) I decided to give it a try!<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it was so delicious that it ruined it for all of the hummus I&#8217;ve tried since then&#8230; hahaha Upon our return to Canada, I decided to reproduce what I had tasted there and came up with this recipe. I&#8217;ve served it to many of my friends and coworkers and got amazing comments on it, everyone was in love with it! I gotta say, this is some pretty awesome hummus! The only thing that could make it better would be to use sprouted chickpeas, just like they do at Life Caf\u00e9&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8228 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/hummus-2.jpg\" alt=\"Delicious hummus (vegan, soy-free, gluten-free)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/hummus-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/hummus-2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t seem to find any better picture for this, probably because every time I make it, it disappears!<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ecp_subscribe_popup_sidebar\" href=\"#1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30798 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/subscribe-wide-banner-pink.png\" alt=\"Subscribe to eyecandypopper.com image and get a complimentary guide to start your healthy journey\" width=\"800\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/subscribe-wide-banner-pink.png 800w, https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/subscribe-wide-banner-pink-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/subscribe-wide-banner-pink-768x240.png 768w, https:\/\/flexitariannutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/subscribe-wide-banner-pink-610x191.png 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Delicious Hummus | Vegan, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free<\/h2>\n<p>(appetizer: 6-8 servings)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 small can (398 ml) organic chickpeas, rinsed (if you have time, you can use dry chickpeas, let them soak overnight, up to 12 hours)<\/li>\n<li>1 clove of garlic, peeled<\/li>\n<li>A small handful of fresh organic parsley, washed<\/li>\n<li>3 Tbsp. high quality extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice (store-bought will not taste the same!)<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp. sesame seeds or 1 tsp. organic tahini<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp. ground cumin<\/li>\n<li>1\/8 tsp. cayenne powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp. sea salt<\/li>\n<li>Freshly ground pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until very smooth.
