What you will need

Chickpeas – These legumes are packed with nutrients like protein, fiber, and minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc. Chickpeas are the base for traditional hummus and create such a smooth and creamy dip.

Olive Oil – We will blend a bit of olive oil in the hummus to create a smooth texture and add some healthy fats.

Tahini – This is the butter created from grounding sesame seeds and it is typically used in most hummus recipes to add a slight nutty flavor and to add to the thick creamy texture. I personally love using a raw tahini which is a bit more mild in flavor.

Spinach – This leafy green is very nutrient dense and may support eye and bone health due to it being rich in vitamins A and K. creates such a vibrant green color to the hummus.

Fresh Herbs – In this recipe we will use a blend of basil, cilantro, and parsley. You can incorporate other greens and herbs as well.

Garlic – This adds such a good flavor note to the hummus.

Lemon Juice – Using fresh lemon juice is the best for optimal flavor.

Cumin – This spice is traditionally used in hummus for added flavor.

Salt – To enhance and balance the flavors out, adding some salt elevates the recipe for sure.

How to make the green goddess hummus

First, carefully chop the spinach, basil, parsley, and cilantro. Then add the greens to a high-powered blender or food processor along with all the other ingredients. Blend on high for 2 minutes or until the texture is smooth and creamy and there are no lumps(You may need to scrape the sides of the blender or food processor in the process).

Pour the hummus into an air-tight container and let chill in the fridge at least 1 hour before enjoying. Serve with crackers, fresh veggies, or add to sandwiches and wraps!
