We absolutely love this sun-dried tomato and raw red bell pepper hummus that is made without chickpeas. Not only is it full of flavor, but it is also contains with nutrients, alkaline, and incredibly for your digestive system. You will need a high-speed blender or food processor (we think this is the better option) to create a smooth consistency with this raw hummus. If you do not have a great blender, you can still make this recipe, but you may end up with a more rustic consistency. That flavor will still be fantastic, though.
The combination of red bell pepper and sun-dried tomatoes makes this dip. You get a savory sweet combination that has just the right amount of tang. Those two ingredients pair beautifully with the zucchini and spices. To keep this raw hummus a reddish hue, make sure to peel the zucchini, or else the green peel may turn this red hummus slightly brown. To be clear, hummus made without chickpeas still tastes like traditional hummus. The lemon, tahini, and spices give this recipe that distinct hummus flavor you know and love.
The zucchini is the ingredient that gives the raw hummus the body and thickness you want from a dip like this. Even though it is made with vegetables, we encourage you to eat it with raw vegetables sticks, such as celery, carrots, or bell peppers. You can also spread it on nori rolls or in raw collard wraps. We have many recipes for both of those meals in our recipe section. Lastly, the hummus is a little thin when you blend it, but chill it in the fridge for a couple hours and it will thicken up.
