Since taking the Pulse Pledge earlier this year I’ve been having a blast in the kitchen coming up with new recipes using my favourite beans, chickpeas and lentils. The kids and I eat hummus in some form almost every day for lunch. They just devour it, scooping it up with veggies and licking it off their fingers (they’re toddlers, so it’s understandable!). The other day I even caught my daughter licking the hummus clean off her plate. I wasn’t sure if I should be glad for her love of a healthy food or horrified by her lack of table manners…isn’t that just parenting in a nutshell?!

White Bean Hummus without Tahini

I love making my own hummus at home because the flavour possibilities are endless! Hummus is typically made with chickpeas and tahini, but I’m loving white beans lately so I thought I’d change things up a bit with an Italian twist. This Garlic Parmesan White Bean Hummus has no tahini, is so easy to throw together in the food processor, and the end result is outstanding!

Garlic Parmesan White Bean Hummus is sharp-tasting with a beautiful smooth texture, and it’s oh so garlicky! It’s perfect with veggies, pita bread, or your favourite crackers, and it’s so delicious I actually couldn’t stop eating it between shots while I photographed it! It’s a great way to eat those delicious and healthy pulses, and I know you’re going to love it as much as we do!
