Lemony Spinach Hummus

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic chickpeas (canned or cooked)
  • 1/4 cup organic plain low fat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed baby spinach
  • juice of 1/2 lemon (preferably Meyer Lemon)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

Directions

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, yogurt, spinach and garlic.

On low speed, slowly pour in the olive oil. Add water if needed to reach a smooth consistency or thin it out. Add the lemon juice, salt & pepper to taste, giving the hummus a final whirl in the food processor.

You can use a blender (or Vitamixer) if you don’t have a food processor.

Delicious with fresh veggies or as a (baked) chip dip!
