Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach Hummus
How do you make spinach hummus smooth and creamy?
Blend the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and spinach until smooth, adding cold water a little at a time to loosen the mixture. Peeling the chickpeas can make the texture silkier, though it is not necessary.
What does spinach hummus taste like?
Spinach hummus tastes creamy, nutty and gently tangy, with a mild vegetal note from the spinach. The spinach usually does not overpower the chickpeas and tahini, especially when balanced with lemon juice and garlic.
Can you use frozen spinach in spinach hummus?
Yes, thawed frozen spinach works in spinach hummus. Squeeze it very well before blending, since extra liquid can make the dip runny; its softer texture may also give the hummus a less fresh, slightly cooked flavor.
What should you serve with spinach hummus?
Serve spinach hummus with pita, crackers, toasted bread or crisp vegetables such as cucumber, carrots and bell peppers. It also works as a spread in wraps and sandwiches, where its creamy texture can replace mayonnaise.
Does spinach hummus need to be refrigerated?
Yes, refrigerate spinach hummus in a covered container because it contains moist, perishable ingredients. Keep it chilled between servings, and avoid leaving it out for extended periods, particularly at a picnic or buffet.
Can spinach hummus be frozen?
Yes, spinach hummus can be frozen in an airtight container, although thawing may make it grainy or watery. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir or briefly re-blend it before serving to bring the texture back together.
Can you make spinach hummus without tahini?
Yes, you can leave tahini out of spinach hummus, but it will have less of its characteristic nutty richness. Blend in a little olive oil or cold water as needed, and season with extra lemon or garlic to round out the flavor.
Is spinach hummus a good source of iron?
Spinach hummus contains some iron from the chickpeas and spinach, but this plant-based iron is not absorbed as readily as iron from meat. Having it with a vitamin C-rich food, such as tomatoes or citrus, can help your body absorb more.
Why does spinach hummus turn dark green or brown?
Spinach hummus can darken as the spinach oxidizes, especially when the dip is exposed to air or stored for a while. Keep it covered in the refrigerator and press a layer of wrap against the surface to limit air contact.
Can spinach hummus replace regular hummus in a sandwich?
Yes, spinach hummus can be used in place of regular hummus in sandwiches and wraps. Its spinach flavor pairs especially well with roasted vegetables, cucumber and feta, while its thick texture helps hold the filling together.

What is Spinach Hummus?
Spinach Hummus is a green variation on hummus, made by blending chickpeas and tahini with spinach, usually alongside lemon and garlic. Hummus has roots in Levantine cooking; spinach gives this version a fresh, gently earthy flavour and a creamy, scoopable texture.
Serve it as a dip with flatbread or raw vegetables, spread it in a sandwich or wrap, or add it to a mezze-style spread. Chickpeas contribute plant protein and fibre, while spinach adds colour and a leafy note; it provides 4.5 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter snack, pair a modest scoop with crunchy vegetables rather than relying only on bread.
