AIP Lemon Garlic Cauliflower Hummus
AIP Lemon Garlic Cauliflower Hummus
Hummus is a universally liked snack food. But, a traditional hummus is made with garbanzo Beans and tahini, both of which aren't AIP, because of the inflammatory potential. Cooking the garlic cloves in olive oil brings out the flavor in this simple creation. For a thicker dip, wrap the cauliflower in a sheet of cheesecloth to wring out some of the moisture, then pureé with the other ingredients. Serve with your favorite fresh cut vegetables. Yum!
