Spinach, feta, and dill hummus with cucumbers is a delightful and nutritious twist on traditional hummus. This recipe blends the creamy texture of chickpeas with the fresh flavors of spinach, feta, and dill, creating a perfect dip for crisp cucumber slices. Not only is it delicious, but it also packs a healthy punch with its high protein and fiber content.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, sesame butter (tahini), and lemon juice. Process until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even blending.
- Add the chopped spinach to the food processor and blend until the spinach is well-incorporated into the hummus mixture.
- Add the crumbled feta cheese and pulse just enough to combine, allowing the feta to remain somewhat chunky for texture.
- Add the toasted pine nuts, chopped dill, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper to the food processor. Pulse a few times to mix everything together. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- If the hummus is too thick, you can add a small amount of water or olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil, if desired.
- Arrange the cucumber slices around the bowl for dipping.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld and improve over time.
Tips:
- For an extra smooth hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending.
- If the hummus is too thick, gradually add water or more lemon juice to reach your desired consistency.
- For added flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts before blending them into the hummus.
- You can substitute the sesame butter (tahini) with another nut or seed butter if needed.
- Refrigerate the hummus for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld together.
