Spinach and Feta Hummus

Spinach and Feta Hummus

Ingredients:

2 cans of garbanzo beans or chick pea
2 tbs Tahini
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tbs crushed garlic
1 tbs salt
1 tbs pepper
1/4 cup red pepper flakes
4 oz Feta Cheese
1/2 cup fresh spinach

Directions:

In your food processor combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.  If the consistency is to thick for you slowly add 1/4 cup of water and blend.  Check the consistency each time before adding water.  I like my hummus super creamy but I didn’t want to add oil because I was attempting to keep this a little healthy.  The water worked great and did not dilute the flavor.  If you are worried about the flavor add veggie stock instead of water.
