Spinach artichoke hummus

Spinach and artichoke go so well together in dips so I figured, why not put them together in hummus?

Good idea, folks. Good idea. It’s bright and flavorful and you get the hint of the veggies flavor combined with the creaminess of the hummus. Layers of flavor here. Lovely layers.

(By the way, a few months after I first made this, I did notice that they sell spinach-artichoke hummus at the store. Good to know I’m not the only one who thinks this is a great combo!)

It also makes for a lighter way to serve spinach and artichoke together — no heavy cheeses to weigh you down like in some of those dips. Just a fresh, bright hummus, waiting to be scooped onto veggies, crackers, pretzels, pita, a sandwich/wrap – you name it! Also, don’t forget the spoon if you just want to get down to business.

You won’t be able to get enough of this. Go try it out!

A light but creamy spinach-artichoke hummus to use as a dip or spread!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chick peas (1 can or homemade), rinsed and drained (with 2 tablespoons reserved)
• 1 heaping cup packed baby spinach leaves

• Juice of one lemon
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons water or liquid reserved from chick peas
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Mix everything together in a food processor (I crammed it all into my small one but it would be easier to use a big one) and blend until smooth. Add an extra splash of water, lemon juice or oil if you need to, to get it to the right consistency.
2. Taste and adjust the salt.
3. Serve with veggies and crackers or pretzels or use as a sandwich/wrap spread. Delicious!
