Green Goddess Hummus
Green Goddess Hummus blends chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, spinach, parsley, and other fresh herbs, lemon juice, green onion, garlic, cumin, and salt for a vibrant, herbaceous dip. The texture is creamy and smooth, made creamy by blending aquafaba with the other ingredients. Garnishes with herbs, walnuts, sesame seeds, and olive oil add texture and enhance flavor.

Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your Vitamix or high-powered blender and secure the lid. Remove the lid cap and insert the tamper.
- Turn the blender on high for 30 seconds (or more for a creamier texture) and use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades. Add more chickpea liquid (aquafaba), if desired, for a softer hummus.
- Add the hummus to a serving plate and garnish with olive oil, chopped herbs, chopped walnuts and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Increase the amount of fresh herbs to intensify the green flavor in the hummus.
