Green Hummus

I made this spicy nutritious little dip to go on my vegan salad plate with some leafy greens, a quinoa salad, and homemade bread. I love the spicy garlic flavor this adds to the plate. You can scoop a little bite of it in with your salad or dip your bread. So many uses for this awesome hummus and the best part is that it takes only minutes to make and it will last a few days in the fridge!
I love the spinach in here because it not only takes a boring tan colored dish to a bright green fun color and those dark leafy greens are so good for you. Spinach is loaded with antioxidants - so reduce your blood pressure, help prevent cancer, and improve eye health by adding this amazing veggie.
