Avocado Hummus with Spinach
Makes 8 servings; prep time 20 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 avocado, washed, peeled and cored
1 ½ cups spinach
1 540 ml/19 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 garlic glove, minced
Juice from ½ lemon, squeezed (about ¼ cup)
1/3 cup unfiltered water, plus more to thin as desired
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Tahini
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Optional toppings: more olive oil, chickpeas and/or diced avocado, za’atar, sumac or smoked paprika and fresh thyme.
Instructions:
Using a 4-cup food processor, blend chickpeas for about 1 minute or until a thick paste is formed.
Add avocado, spinach, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and spices and continue mixing until smooth, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed. Then add water and olive oil and continue to blend for another 2-3 minutes, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with your toppings of choice. Enjoy!
Notes:
Storage: Due to the avocado’s oxidation effect, this hummus can be safely stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for a slightly shorter period of up to 3 days.
