Green Goddess Hummus

Green Goddess Hummus is a fresh herbaceous twist on the traditional dip! A plethora of fresh herbs, spinach and garlic is blended with chickpeas, green peas, avocado and tahini until lusciously creamy! Serve with veggies or toasted naan or pita.

Yields about 3 cups or 12 (1/4 cup) servings.

Instructions

In your high-powered blender (or food processor), measure and add in basil, cilantro, parsley, green onion, snipped chives and 1 to 2 cloves smashed and peeled fresh garlic.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and pour in the olive oil.
Add in (rinsed and drained) chickpeas and the green peas, spinach, avocado, tahini, cumin and kosher salt.
Secure the lid but remove the hole and insert the blenders tamper. This helps pus the food into the blades safely, which helps get everything nicely blended.
If using a food processor: Stop periodically and scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Add in splashes of reserved chickpea liquid (or water) as needed to thin out the hummus. Taste and add more salt if desired.
Transfer to a shallow dish, drizzle with olive oil and I personally like to top it with everything seasoning and any leftover herbs on my cutting board. And then serve it with cut veggies and/or toasted pita or naan.
