I’m a huge hummus fan! I could eat it probably every day! I love eating it as a dip with pita chips but I also love it on my wraps & sandwiches.
This Green Hummus (or spinach hummus) is packed full of fresh spinach to give it an amazing flavor. I will say though, if you aren’t a fan of spinach, you probably won’t enjoy this. The spinach flavor isn’t consuming but it is strong but it’s delicious! Nice & creamy, spinach hummus is the perfect healthy appetizer option!
