Gluten Free Crackers without sharing the recipe!

created by Snacking Squirrel

2 cups fresh spinach
1 can rinsed chickpeas
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup tahini

Dash salt + pepper


Directions:
1. Blend everything together in a food processor until well combined

  12. It looks like you like your hummus like me..not to smooth!
    Making my own hummus has ruined me for store-bought. But I still buy it...because, you know, it IS still hummus after all.

  15. I was going to ask before reaching the end: "what are those crackers?" Can't wait til you post that recipe. The only time I added spinach to guacamole was when I got my wisdom teeth out and couldn't chew my salads. Who knew I was onto something!
