Gluten-free hummus from The Healthy Apple allows everyone to enjoy this popular Middle Eastern dip.  Instead of using chickpeas, which is traditional, this hummus is made by blending cauliflower, basil, onion, and daikon radish.  Serve this vegan appetizer with celery and carrot sticks and gluten-free crackers.
