Hot Pepper Hummus

One of my favorite non-paleo blogs to visit is Not Without Salt. I love the food photography inspiration, and the name is just so catchy. If my mom were to start blogging, hers might be called Not Without Hummus. We love this versatile veggie dip too, though our version is made primarily from zucchini and not chick peas. You'll love it!

    You do not indicate an approximate size for the zucchini!
    As all zuke growers know, size matters!
    Please help!

    I was looking for an appetizer recipe for Easter and this is just perfect!! I made a small batch tonight to give it a try and OMG!! I loved it and I am sure everyone will and they won’t even suspect is Paleo! ha!

    The only modification I did is I used fresh grated ginger instead of garlic since we remove garlic and onion from our diet. Believe me, it tasted just amazing!

    Thank you!!
