Spinach & Artichoke Hummus

When I think of Mediterranean inspired appetizers, the first thing that comes to mind is hummus. It’s a great dip to serve with crudites, pitas or even toasted baguette slices. I knew I had to include some kind of hummus in the Mediterranean menu I was putting together for friends. Rather than making a simple, classic hummus, I thought of other flavors to make… like Spinach & Artichoke Hummus!

One popular dip I enjoy is Spinach & Artichoke. It’s a great flavor combination and with hummus as a base recipe, it’s a flavor that can be incorporated well. I did a search and found the following Rachel Ray recipe and made a few adaptations. I really liked how the recipe came out because it still maintained a hummus quality and had a great balance of spinach/artichoke flavor without it being too overpowering. To serve, I provided a few dippers including baby carrots, cucumber slices, whole wheat pita triangles and toasted baguette slices.The marinade absorbed by the artichokes really added a nice pop of flavor to the hummus. If you like artichokes, you’ll love this recipe…
