If you’re
looking for an easy, healthy, and yummy spread for fresh bread,
crackers, or tortilla chips, you’re in luck. This one combines tasty
chickpeas with smooth avocado, and boosted with a good dose of baby
spinach or arugula. Spread it on toast any time of day — even for
breakfast, or scoop a little of the soft center from a fresh crusty
baguette. It’s as good for everyday lunches as it is as a special
occasion dip or spread. Makes about 2 cups.
