Ingredients:

2 cups chickpeas
480g
1 tbsp sesame butter
16g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
2 cups spinach
60g
1 cup feta cheese
150g
1/4 cup pine nuts
33g
1/4 cup dill
2.22g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
4 cups cucumber
420g

Instructions:

2. Blend Base Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Add Vegetables and Cheese:
- 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.
4. Incorporate Nuts and Herbs:
- 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.
5. Finishing Touches:
- If the hummus is too thick, you can add a small amount of water or olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.
6. Serve:
- 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.
7. Enjoy:
- 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.
