Lemon Spinach Hummus

Lemon Spinach Hummus includes everything you love about hummus with the addition of spinach to create this snack packed with green goodness. Serve with homemade baked seasoned pita chips!

In my never-ending quest to add greens to as many meals as possible, I decided to add fresh greens to one of my favorite snacks – hummus! I actually can’t believe that I haven’t shared a hummus recipe on this site since I eat it almost daily and love to make it at home. Lemon spinach hummus is easy to make and is a great way to sneak more greens into your diet. I love to eat it with homemade baked seasoned pita chips or piled high on a sandwich with other fresh ingredients.

For this recipe I combined spinach with a few additional ingredients including fresh parsley, lemon juice and your standard hummus ingredients. Whip up a batch for a healthier snack that tastes great!
