This is a simple, oil-free hummus that goes great with the usual hummus pairings – raw veggies, crackers, on sandwiches, in wraps, mixed into rice bowls and much much more…
Ingredients

- 1 can pumpkin puree (or use fresh puree)

- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp. red curry paste (bump this up to taste if you want a stronger flavor)
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. Himalayan pink salt (or sea salt)
- 1/4 tsp. smoked paprika (regular paprika will work too)
