Cashew Nut Hummus

Why We Love It: If you are plant-based or trying to eat less meat and more plants, hummus should be a staple in your fridge because it's easy and healthy. Hummus is an anti-inflammatory snack that is packed with protein and fiber.

NOTE: If you are allergic to nuts just take them out of the recipe!

Serves 8

  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 3/4 cup chickpeas
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. After the nuts are soaked, rinse out the water.
