Keto Lemon Dill Hummus is a delicious keto dish. It is a good alternative to chickpea hummus, which has high carb content and is not appropriate for this diet. Make this hummus with cauliflower and tahini to make a smooth base instead of legumes. We also add the dill, lemon juice, and garlic to add the acidity and herby flavor in this hummus. This hummus works nicely as a spread, sauce, or dip. It takes only twenty minutes to prepare, so there is not much time required for its preparation. Keto Lemon Dill Hummus contains only 3g net carbs per serving, so it is good for this diet.
