Juicy Fruit Salsa & Creamy Miso Hummus
Enjoy a vibrant fruit salsa paired with creamy miso hummus featuring tahini and almond butter for a delightful, flavorful appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas (rinsed + drained if using canned)
- 1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/3 cup olive oil (+ more for drizzling)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup basil pesto
- toasted sesame seeds + hemp seeds (for topping)
Instructions
- Add the chickpeas, tahini, almond butter, miso paste, crushed red pepper flakes and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Puree the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
- With the machine running, stream in 1/3 cup olive oil until smooth and creamy. Let the machine run for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides, for an extra smooth texture.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper. If the hummus is too thick, thin with water or extra olive oil, adding 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- For the salsa: In a bowl, combine cherries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches or nectarines, jalapeño, cilantro, basil, and lemon juice. Combine well.
- To serve, generously top the creamy miso hummus with the fresh fruit salsa. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame and hemp seeds for a delightful crunch.
Notes
- Use ripe, in-season fruits for the best flavor.
- Adjust the jalapeño and lemon juice in the salsa to your preference.
- For a smoother hummus, ensure your food processor runs for the full 5 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
- If you don't have almond butter, cashew butter or even extra tahini can be used. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
