    Traditional hummus is a mouth-watering delicious spread made from chickpeas… Not exactly Paleo-friendly. Even if you take the extra step to sprout your chickpeas first, you will want to dip them in moderation.

    However, if you are seeking a creamy indulgence without cheating, then try cauliflower hummus as a savory alternative.

    Cauliflower Hummus With Crudites

    We all know that cauliflower is an amazing and versatile vegetable. It can become a crunchy pizza base, fritters, or a mash, even baked into a cauliflower roll. No matter how you cook it, it is tasty.

    Putting the flavor aside, this pale-colored yet noble vegetable is known to be rich in Vitamin K, which has amazing anti-inflammatory properties, and it is high in essential vitamins. What more can you ask for when you are searching for that perfect healthy snack?

    Take a bowl of cauliflower hummus to a picnic alongside a sweeter Carrot and Pineapple Slaw, or keep it selfishly to yourself, as there are no rules about sharing. And there are absolutely no excuses not to try this recipe. It’s satisfying, it’s healthy, and it ticks all the boxes.

    So, the next time you are invited to a party and expected to bring along an appetizer, consider packing some Bacon-Wrapped Brussels Sprouts and some Spicy Cajun Chicken Wings for a little dose of protein. You can dip those wings in hummus too!
