Introduction

This is a recipe I use for homemade hummus dip. It's pretty standard. I just add kale, spinach, scallions & extra garlic to it.

It's a great dip for veggies, pita, crackers, just about anything! This is a recipe I use for homemade hummus dip. It's pretty standard. I just add kale, spinach, scallions & extra garlic to it.

Ingredients

    Equipment required: Blender or food processor

    1 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 tahini

    1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

    2 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 lemon

    1/2 cup kale, chopped finely

    1/2 cup spinach, chopped finely

    2 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.
