📝 Ingredients

• 1 green onion (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons chives (snipped or chopped)
• 1 to 2 cloves fresh garlic (smashed and peeled)
• 2 lemons (juiced)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup spinach (packed)
• 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drained, reserving the liquids)
• 1 cup green peas (thawed if frozen)
• 1 small avocado
• 1/3 cup tahini
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In 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.
2. 2Squeeze in the lemon juice and pour in the olive oil.
3. 3Add in (rinsed and drained) chickpeas and the green peas, spinach, avocado, tahini, cumin and kosher salt.
4. 4Secure 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.
5. 5Add in splashes of reserved chickpea liquid (or water) as needed to thin out the hummus. Taste and add more salt if desired.
6. 6Transfer 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.
