If there’s one thing I always have stocked in my fridge, it’s hummus.

I usually make a big batch every week.  Not only is it easy, it’s also cheaper to make your own hummus, but you control the quality of ingredients that go into it.  So, there are no weird preservatives or fillers in your dip.  Plus, it’s so easy to sneak in some extra veggies.

This time I added spinach and arugula to the mix and my guys didn’t mind at all.  It tastes so fresh with a subtle kick from the peppery arugula.

This hummus is the perfect healthy snack to have on hand or even make for a get together! Plus it’s so easy to whip up so you really have no excuse not to make it.

  3. Love that you added the greens to the hummus, Kelly! I'd love to have some for lunch today! It's really hot!! And good tip about removing the skin from the cooked chickpeas. Makes perfect sense but nothing I would've thought of on my own. : ) Stay cool.

    • Thanks Pamela:) Hehe, I'm the same way and go through phases of certain foods. This hummus was another way of using up my chickpea stash as well as getting my hubby and son to eat their greens and am happy to say that it worked:) Hope you are staying cool from the heat:)

    • Thanks so much Christin :) Let me know how it works out if you do. I have a stash of dried chickpeas that just needed to be used up but canned work just as well :)

    • Thanks Katy :) Hehe, they actually did eat the green one and really liked it!:) My 2 year old kept wanting to dip his veggies and pita with the green hummus and my hubby said that he couldn't really tell the difference between the two - so it was a double yay!

    • Hi Barbara, removing the chickpea skins definitely gives the hummus the smooth and creamy texture. Thank you so much for your kind comments and for stopping by. I just checked your blog and it's very lovely and inspiring:)
