Mandarin Almond Hummus {Vegetarian, Whole Food}

May 11, 2012 By Kristi

I’m entering in the Dole California Cook-off Facebook contest and I think I’ve come up with a fantastic recipe, inspired by Mandarin Almond Chicken Bites and my own love of hummus. I swapped in chickpeas (mashed hummus-style) for the chicken and mixed in a delicious combination of yogurt, cranberries, almonds and an entire 15-ounce can of Dole Mandarin Oranges. Yes, oranges and cranberries in hummus. Crazy, but awesome, right?

Our kids absolutely ADORE mandarin oranges. They might be addicted, so I was super excited to get mandarin oranges into a healthy, protein-packed snack for the kids and I. I absolutely love how it turned out. Check out the recipe over on Foodie.com: Mandarin Almond Hummus.

The Results

Oh my goodness I love this dip! I could eat it with a spoon. It sounds a little weird at first, but I’m so glad I decided to tinker around and give this a try.  Mr. Meaty, the self-proclaimed hummus-hater even thought it was “not bad”…that’s pretty huge for him. The kids thought it was pretty cool that the dip had fruit in it.
