Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 0.5 cup Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium, minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by trimming the leaves and cutting the cauliflower into florets. Place cauliflower florets in a steamer basket set over a pot of boiling water, cover, and steam for about 10-12 minutes or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.

Step 2

Once cooked, remove the cauliflower from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, ground cumin, and water.

Step 4

Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water or olive oil until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a remaining olive oil splash. Sprinkle paprika and freshly chopped parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 7

Serve your Paleo hummus dip with vegetable sticks, such as carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers, or use it as a spread for wraps and sandwiches.
