Raise your hand if you have a litttttle problem with hummus. And by problem, what I really mean is that you eat it all. the. time.
I buy hummus on a regular basis. I make it myself on a regular basis. And whenever the husband is out of town? It often winds up in some form as my dinner.
Obsessed much?
And this spinach artichoke flavor? It’s the latest addition to my homemade hummus line-up.
We have a classic hummus base jazzed up with some chopped spinach and artichokes. Easy peasy and it takes no longer than 15 minutes to make.
It totally works as a healthy snack or as a fun game day appetizer.
Or really for any type of entertaining because helloooo make-ahead dish for the win. You really just can’t go wrong.
Tips & Tricks For This Spinach Artichoke Hummus
- The hummus does thicken up a tad after adding the spinach and artichokes (and after chilling out in the fridge). So, if desired, you could add more olive oil and / or water to the food processor when making the hummus base to adjust the consistency (up to 2 tablespoons additional of each). I like this hummus a bit on the thicker / chunkier side (just because of the flavor), but you can absolutely play around and adjust.
- Want to add a little bit of cheesiness to the hummus? Stir in some crumbled feta to taste (along with the spinach and artichokes). Or, add some nutritional yeast to the food processor when whipping up the hummus base.
- As always, feel free to play around and tinker with the spices, the amount of garlic, etc., etc. I love the flavors as written, but adjust to your own taste.

Spinach Artichoke Hummus
This healthy spinach artichoke hummus makes for the perfect appetizer or snack! Packed with flavor, it only takes 15 minutes to whip up and is fantastic served with veggies or chips. Dairy free, gluten free and vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup tahini
- juice of 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- pinch of cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1 (8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
- ⅓ cup chopped canned artichoke hearts (drain then chop!)
- extra olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Add the chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, salt, cumin and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor.
- Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (I process it for about 45 seconds to 1 minute in my food processor to get it smooth, stopping once to scrape down the bowl).
- Transfer the hummus to a medium bowl and stir in the spinach (break it up with your fingers first) and artichokes until combined. Taste and season with additional salt (I usually add about just under a ¼ teaspoon more) and / or cayenne as needed. Lightly drizzle some olive oil over the top.
- Serve with crackers, pita chips, bread, veggies, whatever you would like!
Notes
If possible, try to make the hummus in advance of when you’ll need it - I think the flavors really meld and come out as it chills in the fridge!

I only have fresh spinach. Should I blanch it first?
Hey Tina – Yes, I would cook the spinach. Let it cool, then squeeze out any excess moisture and give it a chop. Enjoy!
I make hummus in my vitamix using lightly toasted sesame seeds in place of the tahini. I also (painstakingly) remove garbanzo beans from the shell to create a very smooth humus. Love the idea of adding spinach and artichoke!!!
You have way more patience than me Karen! I always give up halfway through removing the shells! haha
Haha, I have a HUGE problem with hummus! The other day I bought the extra large container thinking it would last longer than a day, but I’m embarrassed to say that it didn’t last much longer lol! I love the flavor of this hummus! I bet I could eat the whole bowl in one sitting 🙂
haha I totally understand this!
This hummus would disappear way too quickly at our house! Guess I’ll just have to make a double batch! 😉
haha guess so!! 🙂
This is pure snack happiness 😀
Spinach artichoke hummus? Whaaaa. 2 of my very favorite things mashed up into one. YAASSS!
My daily snack time would not be complete without hummus. Love this artichoke + spinach version.
Same here!
You made a combo of two of my favorite dips! I am sooooo into this. I wish I could have a big bowl for dinner with carrots and pita chips. This would also be amazing in a wrap or sandwich. I’m definitely making a batch soon!
Yess!! I didn’t even think of that … apparently I was too busy eating it with all the chips! lol
Oh yes, I have a major obsession with hummus too. It’s so versatile and you can’t beat the protein and fiber. Totally acceptable as a meal. 🙂
I love the idea to make a spinach artichoke version. Genius!
I had a container of hummus in my lunch every day last week! Yep…..I’d say I’m addicted! I love that you’ve made a spinach artichoke version! More reasons to eat more hummus! 🙂
I’m with you, hummus is one of my favorite snacks! With pita chips it’s the best. Andddd I love spinach + artichoke so this recipe is a winner in my book!
Agreed! Thanks Nicole!!
Oh gosh, I want to just grab some crackers and veggies and call this lunch. It looks DELICIOUS!
There’s hummus in my fridge right now so I’m with you. I didn’t think you could make hummus any more addicting than it already is but clearly, you managed! Sounds so good. Just give me an unlimited platter of veggies and some pita chips and that is heaven. : )
hehe thanks Monica! I’m with you – I could eat it alll the time with some veggies and chips!!
Guilty! I definitely have a problem with hummus, as in I usually eat the WHOLE container in one sitting! It’s quite embarrassing, haha. I think I would definitely do the same with this spinach artichoke version. Looks just perfect, Ashley!
haha I understand this!! 🙂 Thanks Gayle!
MUST make this!! Like this weekend! Looks fantastic 🙂
I am loving the idea of adding spinach and artichoke in t his hummus dip…super tasty and hearty, thanks for this post Ashley!
I hope you are enjoying your week 🙂
I am obsessed with hummus too, always have some in the fridge. THIS. IS. GENIUS. I was trying to make a healthier version of the classic spinach artichoke dip but couldn’t find a suitable replacement for the creaminess. HUMMUS, DUH. Also, this is amazing. Completely. YUM!!
Thanks Jessica! It’s not exactly the same (obviously) but I think it’s pretty darn delicious nonetheless!
Hummus is indeed too good. I too love anything chickpeas. And chickpeas and spinach are one of my favorite combos. But love the use of artichoke here. PS: Love those tip & tricks for making this perfect hummus.
oh yes! we love hummus at our house too. love this version 🙂 so creative.
I want to run to the kitchen and make this right now — I would eat this non-stop! This would be so much better than the cheesy spinach artichoke dip too because that’s SO rich! Awesome dip Ashley and I can’t wait to try it!
Yes! You don’t get that same sort of weighed down feeling! Thanks Marcie!
spinach and artichoke dip is my FAVORITE and i had no idea that it was filled with cream cheese and all this other fatty stuff. haha. the name just sounds so healthy!! i am going to give this a try, ASAP. looks amazing
Thanks Beverley! I hope you enjoy! 🙂
Ahhh, this would have been the perfect appetizer to my daughter’s 7th birthday bash yesterday! But since my other daughter’s b-day is in a few weeks, I can still use it then. Especially when you’re eating pizza and wings, you need some food you feel good about =)
I’m a day too late! haha 🙂 Thanks Laura!
Haha – I have a problem with hummus too – it’s so good! So good! Yes – am so obsessed too – and forget about the pita chips and hand me this bowl and a spoon! Loving the spinach in there!
I am too obsessed with anything chickpeas :-)) I love how your hummus looks…almost like my favourite blue cheese :-))
Thanks Angie!! Ha – I love it!
O this one sounds so good!!!
I have a meltdown if I’m out of hummus! (But that never happens…always stay stocked up on batches and batches homemade in the freezer!)
Oh my gosh, I would totally need my own personal bowl of this gorgeous hummus because I would NOT be able to share it!
