Spinach Hummus

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked garbanzo beans
2-3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1/2 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 cup sesame tahini
2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed and dried

Directions

Tip: Hummus freezes well, so you can make a large batch in advance.

Drain beans and set aside. Place garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and sea salt in a food processor and blend until creamy.
Add sesame tahini and blend.
Add ½ the beans and ½ the spinach and blend.
Add the other ½ of the beans and spinach and blend until desired consistency is achieved. If you like a very creamy hummus, you may need to add a little water or a bit more lemon juice or olive oil.

Notes

Hummus is a traditional Middle-Eastern spread, which makes an excellent dip for fresh veggies. You can also use hummus as a sandwich spread!
