Green Goddess Hummus
Description
This Green Goddess Hummus incorporates classic chickpeas and tahini with a handful of fresh leafy greens like spinach, parsley, and additional herbs to bring brightness and complexity to the dip. Lemon juice and garlic add acidity and savory notes while cumin introduces warmth. Blending in reserved chickpea liquid (aquafaba) helps achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without excess oil or water.
The hummus is finished with garnishes such as chopped herbs, walnuts for crunch, sesame seeds, and drizzles of olive oil, giving an attractive presentation and layered flavor. This version offers a green twist on traditional hummus, making it suitable as a snack, appetizer, or spread.
Adjusting the herb quantities can enhance the green flavor to personal preference, making it flexible for varying tastes.
