Is Hummus one of your favorite snacks? This Spinach and Feta Hummus recipe adds a delicious Greek twist to the classic!
We’ve been all about appetizers lately! Whenever we have family gatherings or friends over, it’s a lot about the appetizers, or as we Greeks refer to them, orektiká. Many times there are so many appetizers served that we are full before we start the main meal! The way we look at it, it just means longer conversations over more good food.
We love the creamy texture of hummus and how it compliments both fresh vegetables and pita bread. You can find our Pita Bread recipe here. While this is a very easy recipe to pull together, the one part that will take the most time is taking the outer skin off the chickpeas. Trust us, it’s worth it because the hummus comes out much creamier. The addition of the spinach and feta is our Greek spin on an already healthy and satisfying appetizer. We finish if off by topping the platted hummus with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, crumbled feta and a dash or red pepper flakes.
Kali Orexi!
I WANT TO PUT THIS TOGETHER QUICKLY. CAN I SKIP REMOVING THE OUTER SKIN FROM THE CHICKPEAS?
Yes you can, but the hummus won’t be as creamy.
