Ingredients
- 8 oz macadamia nuts - roasted and salted
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- 1-2 cloves fresh garlic - 2 cloves for dragon breath, 1 for most humans
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice - freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon whole pink peppercorns
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Pineapple Salsa
- ½ cup pineapple - very small dice
- 2 tablespoon purple onion - finely diced
- 1 tablespoon poblano pepper or bell pepper for less heat - finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro - finely chopped
Instructions
- Process the macadamia nuts in a food processor until it looks like a grainy nut butter.
- Add in the remaining ingredients except for the water. Process until it becomes a very smooth, but thick paste. This should take about 2 minutes.
- Gradually add in the water about a tablespoon at a time until it becomes lighter and super smooth and the consistency you like. Taste and reseason if needed.
- Spoon the hummus into a serving dish and top with the pineapple salsa. Serve with BFree Pita Bread cut into wedges or layer on BFree Sweet Potato Wraps along with aged gouda cheese, lettuce and roasted red pepper for a fantastic lunch!
