Creamy Tomato Garlic Hummus Dip

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Mar 23, 2020 · published: Apr 28, 2012 · About 3 minutes to read this article. 2 Comments

This Creamy Tomato Garlic Hummus is dreamy and rich textured with a hint of heat. Make it as spicy as you'd like. This healthy vegan dip can be served with freshly chopped veggie sticks, slathered on sandwiches, alongside salads or spread on bagels and toast. You can make an easy lunchtime wrap by simple scooping a nice portion of hummus into a large tortilla and adding a rainbow of veggies or greens - maybe a few grains like quinoa or cooked and chilled farro too. The flavor in this bean-filled hummus goes a long way to perk up produce. Get my recipe..

Omegas. I've been really into learning more about omega 3 fatty acids lately. And so I've been adding foods like walnuts and flax oil more to my diet - good vegan sources of omega 3's. And an easy recipe to use these ingredients in is hummus. I've replaced my usual olive oil ingredient with a mix of walnut and flax oils And I've tossed in a few omega-3 rich raw walnuts too. But you can use EVOO if need be.

Want to get more Omega 3's? For vegans, it is as easy as eating more flax and walnuts. And other moderate sources of omega 3's include beans like kidney and pinto, spinach, winter squash and broccoli. As well as other oils.

Always add walnut and flax oils to recipes at cold or room temperature - you don't want to heat them as cooking can destroy the omega fatty acids. So if you plan on baking this hummus or warming it in your oven you might want to use a super low temperature and bake for a longer period of time to help preserve the omegas.

Party Food. I love serving this dip is a big bowl, it looks so pretty and inviting. And this hummus is super delicious and perfect for a big bowl party dip!
