Hummus is a timeless and traditional recipe that continues to be a favorite dip for chips and veggies. However, the chickpeas hummus is made with are inflammatory food for many people because of the phytates and lectins. This recipe uses the heartiness of artichokes in place of beans, peas, or seeds. Dip those raw veggies into this hummus, put it on salads, or use it as a spread. You’ll be getting antimicrobial compounds from the lemon zest, garlic, and cumin, and the artichoke is a source of quercetin, a natural antihistamine to support your immune function.
