Kind of a marriage of guacamole and hummus, and infused with a good amount of tender greens, this rich dip makes its own unique statement. In my many demos about leafy greens, I always make this recipe, and it’s absolutely inhaled by the audience! Serve with tortilla chips, fresh pita, pita chips, raw veggies, or a combination.
