Could this be the pinnacle of healthy food? Hummus is rich in protein, omega 3, fibre, folic acid and low in saturated fat. Superfood kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around.
This kale hummus recipe makes a big batch. I keep it in the fridge to use as a dip, spread for sandwiches and wraps or simply on crackers.
You can easily halve this recipe.
Also do not hesitate to vary the amount of lemon juice, chickpeas liquid and olive oil to suit your own personal taste.
