Yum - just saw this recipe for deviled eggs replacing mayo with hummus. Can't wait to try it.

Just need to point out that hummus is entirely a different sort of thing than mayo. In fact:
Duke's Mayonnaise 1tbsp: 100 cal, 12g fat, 0 carbs, 0 protein
Sabra Classic Hummus 2tbsp: 70cal, 5g fat, 4g carbs, 2g protein
Not fudging numbers, those are each of those products' recommended serving size, and given how thick hummus is in relation to mayonnaise, you'd probably have to use a larger quantity of it to achieve the creaminess that is so awesome in deviled eggs.
This seems more like a fix a lower fat advocate would use over a lower carb advocate.
That being said, if it fits your goals and you like it, go for it.0 -
Personally I wouldn't replace mayo with hummus (hummus has more carbs and less fat and mayo is delicious). I could see making your own mayo if you want to avoid the soybean oil that is typically used in commercially prepared mayo tho.0

Yep, just be aware that hummus is not low carb.0

Those are lower calorie deviled eggs, not lower carb.0

Yeah interesting, there was another low cal recipe post recently too. I've seen using avocado instead of mayo but I wouldn't switch to hummus though I'm sure the flavor is good it wouldn't work for lower carb substitute.0

Much better idea - thanks! What was I thinking??? Avocado is a much better choice.0
