Ingredients
Equipment required: Blender or food processor1 can garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) (you can drain them or not - I use the "juice" mixed with water to simmer the kale & spinach before adding them to the mixture)3 tbsp. sesame tahini1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil2 cloves garlic (you can reduce this if you like; I just really like garlic, also I roast mine ahead of time & again that is up to you if you wish to or not)juice from 1/2 a lemon1/2 cup kale, chopped finely1/2 cup spinach, chopped finely2 scallions, chopped
Directions
Makes about 6 1/3-cup servings.

On medium heat, in water (not much; you'll be adding this to the hummus & you don't want it too runny), simmer the kale & spinach until it's just a little bit soft.

Add to your blender/food processor the can of garbanzo beans/chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic & lemon juice. Blend well.

Then add the kale & spinach mixture. Blend well.

Chopped scallions can be used as garnish/seasoning, or blended in with the rest of the ingredients.
