Easy Green Goddess Hummus
Description
This hummus uses basic ingredients combined in a blender or food processor, starting with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, onion powder, cumin, and salt, blended together. Kale and chives are added next, with cooked chickpeas blending to a smooth consistency aided by water. The tahini contributes creaminess and nuttiness, while the kale adds a leafy, green note visualized in the dip’s color and taste.
The resulting texture is thick and creamy, suitable for dipping vegetables or spreading onto bread. Lemon juice brightens the flavor, while garlic and spices provide savory depth without overpowering the greens.
This hummus stores for about a week in an airtight container and can be adjusted in texture by adding more oil or water. Substitutions of other greens such as spinach or parsley will affect texture slightly due to kale’s density. Both canned and cooked chickpeas work for this recipe.
Ingredients
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 lemon juiced
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a powerful blender or a food processor, add the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, onion powder, cumin and salt.

Notes
- To thin or smooth the hummus, add more olive oil in small increments.
