Fabulously Healthy, Edamame, Spinach and Garlic Hummus For Summer Entertaining Recipe
We’re loving this skinny dip. It’s loaded with such good-for-you ingredients. Most hummus is made mostly of garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic and olive oil, but this one’s unconventional. Our green colored hummus has garbanzo beans, garlic and hummus, but you’ll love the addition of edamame and fresh spinach. Talk about vitamin and antioxidant rich! Whipped up our delectable hummus today…It will be a big hit and a keeper for sure.
