For the hummus
- 230g Macadamia Nuts - roasted and salted
- 1x 410g Canned Chickpeas - strained and rinsed

Method

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 season again if needed.

Spoon the hummus into a serving dish and top with the pineapple salsa. Serve with Pita Bread cut into wedges or layer on wraps along with some cheese, lettuce and roasted red pepper for a fantastic lunch!
