kale hummus

ok, so you know i am crazy for anything healthy i can stuff in my children and husband.
i have been on a kale kick lately, and have now come up with new recipe the whole family loves.

kale hummus

1 bunch organic kale
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
2 cans garbanzo beans (one drained, one not drained)

saute the kale with the garlic in a big skillet. i put a little olive oil in mine.
when it is shrinking down, toss in the lemon zest and lemon juice. empty the two cans of garbanzo beans into your blender. i drain one, leave the juice in one. toss in the kale/garlic/lemon mixture. add the salt, peppr and crushed red pepper, you can adjust to taste. blend until smooth! serve with pita chips, veggies or whatever your family likes.

enjoy - kale is full of good cancer fighting nutrients which are enhanced when mixed with the lemon and garlic. this is a snack you will feel great about feeding your family!
