Parsley Hummus for Cauliflower Crudites

This vibrant parsley hummus offers a refreshing twist on the classic Middle Eastern dip, swapping traditional earthy tones for a bright, herbaceous flavour. By blending fresh parsley with creamy chickpeas and nutty tahini, you create a striking green dip that is as visually appealing as it is delicious. The addition of soured cream provides a subtle tang that balances the rich sesame oil and aromatic cumin perfectly, resulting in an exceptionally smooth texture.

As a nutritious vegetarian snack or elegant appetiser, this dish is served with a trio of colourful purple, white, and green cauliflower crudités. Lightly steaming the florets ensures they retain their crunch and nutritional value while making them easier to digest than raw vegetables. It is a sophisticated, heart-healthy option for seasonal entertaining or a light, homemade lunch.
