Hummus....get your greens in?

Kale Chickpea Hummus

I made this in 8min this morning because I was out of my regular hummus from the store. Worked great and no preservatives or additives :-)

1 cup Canned Chick Peas
1 cup kale (remove stems)
1 clove garlic
1/2 lime (squeezed)
5-6 dashed Red Hot
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp Spicy Mustard (any kind)
Pepper to taste

- Rinse off chickpeas & remove kale stems
- place both into a small pot, add a little water to help steam the kale; pop the lid on and cook for 3-4min
- Now place all the ingredients into a food processor and process away.
- you may have to add a little more lime depending on consistency.

Now you are ready to use this as a topping on tuna, salads and or eggs. Also you can use this simply a side dish or as veggie dip....really anything goes just get creative.
PLUS.....Hey you just ate KALE!
