Low Fat Hummus Roasted Red Pepper
Hummus is one of those things that you can eat and eat and eat. And then you look up, an hour in to your favorite Housewives franchise and boom. 500 calories down the drain. So instead of drowning myself in hummus sorrows, I make the low fat variety. Normally I tackle the cilantro and lime variety from our last post because that’s SO my personal flavor profile, but every now and then I spice it up with some roasted red pepper. Equally delicious, equally simple.
Low Fat Hummus Roasted Red Pepper
So as I said before, to start, I normally just buy the store bought low fat hummus then jooj it up a bit. But if you’re up for it, go ahead and make your own by pureeing some chickpeas with some water and spices. I use garlic and onion powders. Or if you’re really in it to win it, peel the skins off of your chickpeas before you start and you’ll up the chances of having silky smooth hummus. Totally addicting I should add.

I served this up to myself (ha) on a toasted gluten free english muffin and topped with chopped cucumbers, a bit of feta and a splash of salt. Beyond yum. Other easy hummus flavors to consider…
