You get your greens in where you can. And sometimes I just get tired of eating my greens as a side dish with seasoning. Why do I always seem to make it so boring?!

It’s not boring, nor should it be!

This green hummus is packed full of fresh spinach and basil to make a nutrient and flavor packed hummus. Perfect way to end your summer and use the last of your basil plant. I’m kind of surprised mine lasted all summer. I do not have a very green thumb. Oye.

We’ve been indulging in it as a dip with grilled chicken, raw vegetables, stirring it into cooked whole wheat pasta and even spreading it on sandwiches and quesadillas.

So gooooood!
