Notes

Before using the tahini, be sure to stir it well to blend in the oil that may have separated out.
If the mixture is too thick, additional olive oil can be processed in.
For larger heads of cauliflower, add in more tahini, lemon juice, salt, and cumin to taste.
Cucumber slices, low carb tortilla chips, pork rinds, and celery sticks are great keto-friendly foods to serve with the hummus.
