Easy tasty kale hummus recipe
First, thoroughly wash the baby kale leaves. To remove the ribs, simply hold the stem end and strip the leafy parts away with your hands. Tear the leaves into smaller, manageable pieces.
Chop the garlic clove to release its flavor, and rinse the chickpeas well to remove any excess brine.
Next, add the kale and all the remaining ingredients into your food processor. Pulse a few times to start breaking everything down, then process continuously until you achieve a smooth and creamy hummus. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then continue processing to ensure everything is evenly blended. Finally add 1 or 2 tablespoon of water if needed.
