Simple Spinach Dip
Image by Mark Stebnicki Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of fresh spinach (roughly chopped), 1 400g can of drained and rinsed chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon of ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Cover loosely and microwave on high for 2–3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the chickpeas are warmed through. Allow to cool slightly, then blend with a stick blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and lemon juice to taste. Nutritional Benefits: Spinach is packed with iron, vitamin K, and antioxidants that support blood health and reduce inflammation. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and dietary fibre, aiding in digestion and supporting steady energy levels. Olive oil offers healthy monounsaturated fats for heart health, while lemon juice contributes vitamin C and enhances absorption of plant-based iron. Cumin and garlic add flavour while supporting immune and digestive health. Please like, share, follow and comment.medium.comSimple Spinach Dip
