Spinach and Feta Hummus

My love for hummus knows no bounds. Okay, maybe its bounds are grocery store bought hummus. My love for homemade hummus knows no bounds. That's better. And homemade hummus is a cinch so there is really no reason to buy store bought hummus. Ever.

This version of hummus is a bit different with the inclusion of feta cheese (swoon) and is great with fresh veggies. Chock full of spinach and eaten with veggies, it's healthy too! Win, win!


Ingredients:
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cups fresh spinach
1/3 cup olive oil
5 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp tahini
8 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt

Directions:
Combine chickpeas, spinach, olive oil, lemon juice and tahini in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add feta, red pepper flakes, garlic and salt. Pulse until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired, adding additional lemon juice, red pepper flakes and salt as needed.

Serve with pita or veggies. Refrigerate any leftovers.

For some reason, I've never put spinach IN hummus. On it, certainly. That might be the destination of my next garden harvest!
