Prep Time10 minutes

Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh kale leaves chopped and stems removed
  • 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 can chickpeas 15 oz, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 whole lemon juice of half
  • water as needed to achieve desired consistency

Instructions

  • Start by washing the kale thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend later on.
  • In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Add the chopped kale and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the kale is wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In your food processor, combine the sautéed kale and garlic, drained chickpeas, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth. If it’s too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Give your dip a taste. You might want to add more salt or lemon juice to suit your preferences. Blend again if needed.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and enjoy it with your favorite dippers. A drizzle of olive oil on top adds a nice touch!
