So my obsession with Green Garbanzo continues with my second recipe and this time I’ve made a delicious Hummus!!All it needs is a few minutes in the microwave and its ready to be used. l love the texture and the lovely green color that just brightens up your party platter!It even ties with our spring theme this #SundaySupper!
I’ve combined these with garlic and some EVOO and you just can’t beat the flavors!The Garbanzos are a little dry and need some water to help puree them but the result is fantastic!It takes minutes to make and is the perfect alternative to the traditional humus and more healthier since its full of vitamins and fiber!Serve it with pita or tortilla chips and you have one easy appetizer dip that’s different and so tasty 🙂

I love the dishes of garbanzo beans.
Thanks for sharing the delicious dish of garbanzo beans.

Green Garbanzo beans? I’ve never seen them. Now I need to look closer at the freezer section. Love, love the addition of the garlic and EVOO! I’d have a hard time sharing this one. 🙂

I made hummus too this weekend- avocado and cannelloni beans it turned out delicious. I have never worked with green garbanzo beans, thanks for new ideas and tips for adding water-I sometimes to add couple drops warm water and it makes final result fluffier
Green Garbanzo Beans?! I never knew such a thing existed! Where have I been? I must find these! The hummus looks amazing and the perfect consistency!

Wow, this looks so good… thinking it would make the perfect lunch today! I love your unique twist on one of my favorite foods. Thanks for posting!! 😉
Your hummus is a celebration of springtime in an appetizer, Soni! Love that it is actually good for you…and a great way to sneak in protein into the diets of family members who are strictly vegetarian. Thanks so much =)
I would love to give this a try my friend this looks so delicious 🙂

I’ve never seen green garbanzos before!!! Love regular chick peas..this looks interesting. Need to keep my eye out for them so I can give this hummus a try!

Now you have me very curious about green garbanzo beans. I think making hummus is a great excuse plus I’ll have a wonderful afternoon snack.
Renee recently posted..Strawberry Sorbet for #SundaySupper
I’ve always been curious about green garbanzos. Are they green because they are not matured? The color is amazing and I prefer homemade hummus over any store-bought version. I will have to look out for these beans!

I am already obsessed with hummus so I have to try this recipe.
Laura | Small Wallet, Big Appetite recently posted..Pea Shoot Risotto #SundaySupper
Soni, I love this take on the traditional hummus. I’ve been wanting to make my own hummus for the longest time but can’t find any dried chickpeas (everyone online says making it with dried is better than the canned stuff so I’ve stayed away from the cans). I should just make your garbanzo version instead! Your photos are beautiful – I love that pop of green.

Mmmmm! I LOVE hummus! I never had it before 2 years ago, now I enjoy it all the time. This version looks fantastic!

The color is spectacular, Soni! I will have to look for green garbanzo beans…as hummus is a weekly treat around here 🙂

I am not familiar with green garbanzo beans and I will need to give them a try. I often make hummus for an after school snack and this sounds like a perfect new recipe to try. Happy Spring, Soni!

Yum! What a great color and I love that you used Garbanzo in place of chick peas. I have to try this out. Can’t go wrong with garlicky hummus.

I’ve never seen green garbanzos, but I’m getting ready to move to an area with better food stores so I’ll keep an eye out. This would be perfect to keep in the fridge for a quick, healthy snack.

I simply love every single variation of chickpea hummus I can find. But I never heard of green garbanzos! Must see if they are sold by another name. Love the idea Soni!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen recently posted..Caramelized Grapes and Brie Whole Wheat Galette #SundaySupper
This sounds so interesting ! Must get my hand on some green garbanzo ( I know a store that sells them) and make this. Bet it tastes really fresh. My family are big into hummus. Make a batch every week !!

I’ve never heard of green garbanzo’s is the taste any different from regular? This looks great, and I love the color!
Susan recently posted..Baked Eggs with Shaved Asparagus and Proscuitto #SundaySupper
Thanks Susan!It tastes just like a regular chickpea hummus although its a bit more dry hence requires more liquid to puree!Its more healthier and prettier though 🙂
Um…Yum! We eat a lot of hummus, and I will be giving this recipe a whirl today in my Vitamix! Family coming for lunch-and your green spring hummus will be a hit! Thanks!
