    Original post: January 2016 | Updated: February 2021

    I’m going to dive right into the main topic of this post: green deliciousness. You know I love sweet and savory, naughty and healthy. I’m an all-encompassing food girl. There are weeks when I prefer one taste over the other and this week I have been CRAVING greens. 

    This spinach hummus is the perfect appetizer for any gathering. Serve with veggies and crackers! I also occasionally slather it all over the inside of lunch wraps or sandwiches. It acts as a great salad dressing, too!

    HOW TO MAKE SPINACH HUMMUS

    STEP 1

    Place the garbanzo beans, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, spinach, avocado, chives, salt and cayenne pepper into a food processor or blender. Process/puree until creamy.

    Stream in olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the reserved garbanzo beans liquid.

    STEP 2

    Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve. Sprinkle extra cayenne pepper over the top and serve with crackers or vegetables.

    FAQ ABOUT HUMMUS

    CAN HUMMUS BE FROZEN

    Hummus can be frozen very easily! Freeze hummus in an air-tight container. Freeze for up to 4 months for best results.

    WHEN HUMMUS GOES BAD

    When hummus goes bad it will have a distinct sour smell. A sour smell or discoloration means the hummus is past its prime and should be tossed.

    HOW HUMMUS IS EATEN

    Use hummus as a dip for veggies, chips, tortillas or pita chips. It is also a great spread for sandwiches and wraps!

      So to fellow people using this recipe. It says you can use a blender. it lies. I wasted a whole lot of ingredients because the recipe said I could puree in a blender. DO NOT if you would like to not waste money. I still haven’t gotten to try it, because it said I could use a blender.
