Spinach Hummus

• 5 oz fresh spinach leaves
• 1 (14 ounce can) chicpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
• 2 tbsp lemon juice (juice of half a lemon)
• 2 to 3 garlic cloves
• 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 to 2 teaspoons ground pepper
• 2 to 3 tablespoons tahini (ground sesame paste), available in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores
• 2 to 3 tablespoons turkish seasoning is what this calls for, but I use cumin, oregano, sweet paprika, & cilantro in even amounts mixed together to total 2 or 3 teaspoons full. Cayenne can also be added to this mix if desired.

1. In a food processor or blender, combine the chicpeas, spinach, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, pepper and turkish seasoning and pulse to combine.
2. Add olive oil and continue to pulse until it reaches the consistency you like.
3. Serve with vegetables such as carrots or broccoli florets, crackers or pita crisps.
4. You can also use it as a sandwich spread and add sliced tomato, cheese and lettuce for a healthy sandwich.
