There are so many ways to use hummus, it’s not just a dip! This Garlic Kale Hummus is the perfect healthy flavor enhancer for any dish! Gluten-free, vegan, and packed with nutrition and flavor, you’ll be adding this hummus to all your meals!
It feels like I just posted for the Recipe ReDux! I do really love these monthly “challenge” themes! I’m stretching the theme a bit this month, but again, I’m working as best I can with the recipes I had made and photographed from home! A few more weeks and I can actually get back in the kitchen and working again! The list of recipe ideas I have is crazy and I can’t wait to start crossing them off! Ah!
March’s Theme – We’re all about cooking once and eating twice. In short, double dinners are better. Show us how you take a favorite recipe already on your blog – and ReDux the leftovers into a new dish. Or, whip up a new healthy recipe and give suggestions on how to make it a second meal. For example, slow cooker pot roast could become shredded beef tacos; or grilled chicken breasts might morph into chicken salad.
Since I last shared about my undieing love for hummus (including the history and what authentic hummus is), I’ve been waiting to share this awesome flavor combo with you too. First of all, everyone loves a recipe that sneaks in some extra greens and people seem to love garlic. This isn’t an overpowering garlic flavor though, I personally only like a touch of the flavor, unless it’s black garlic! I’ll take loads of black garlic any day!
Besides the great and green flavor and color of this simple hummus, it can be used for just about anything. Hummus is just so versatile! So not only does it fit the March theme of two for one, but more like 80 for one! Haha! So let’s list the many ways you can use hummus!
Dip (the obvious!)
Spread (for sandwiches!)
Mix into pastas for a nice creamy sauce
Bake it into casseroles
Coat chicken or fish with it
Mix it into dinner bowls
Use it in place of mayo
Endless….
So you totally can get a ton of uses for the ever humble hummus! You can even use it to stuff mushrooms with! (My favorite recipe!)
Garlic Kale Hummus
Ingredients: (makes about 2 heaping cups)
+ 2 Cups Cooked Chickpeas
+ 1 Cup Torn and Washed Kale
+ 1/2 Tsp Fresh Chopped Garlic
+ 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
+ 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
+ 1/4 Cup Water
Directions:
+ Place the chickpeas, kale, spices, and water into a food processor (or blender).
+ Pulse and blend until smooth! Then let chill in the fridge and store in an airtight container for about 1 week. It’s also very easily freezable by placing flat in a plastic bag!
I’m convinced that if everyone ate hummus and always had it in the house, the world would be a better place! It’s so healthy, easy to make, versatile with it’s endless uses, so yummy, the perfect food for gatherings and parties with provokes happiness, and simply for that fact that…it’s HUMMUS!
So tell me:
+ What is you favorite way to use hummus?
+ What’s an easy food you do the “two for one” thing with?

April 3, 2015 at 1:15 pmLove how hummus is so versatile. We like having it as a dip or sometimes as a spread (like peanut butter). I hope you can stop on by and share this or any other recipe with us on Five Friday Finds!

Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

Harriet Emily says
March 28, 2015 at 5:51 amWOW! This looks sooo delicious – I have a serious hummus addiction. It’s amazing how versatile it is isn’t it!? This is such a beautiful, inventive recipe! I’d never thought of putting kale in hummus before! Yum! I’m definitely going to have to try this.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 28, 2015 at 8:01 amThank you so much! Haha! Hummus rocks for sure 😉
Kati says
March 27, 2015 at 10:30 pmI just planted kale in my garden. I can’t wait to star harvesting. We love it here, but I’m always looking for new ways to use up the abundance I get from the garden. Hummus and garlic are two of our favorites too so this recipe just makes sense!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 28, 2015 at 2:12 amYou are so lucky to have a garden….and kale! Haha! I would go crazy with the fresh produce in the kitchen! Please do make this then! You’ll love every bit! 😉
Christi says
March 27, 2015 at 9:41 pmCan’t wait to give this lovely hummus recipe a try!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 10:01 pmWoooo! Thanks!
genevieve @ gratitude & greens says
March 27, 2015 at 9:19 pmThis hummus sounds so delicious! You’ve combined so many of my favourite things: chickpeas, kale, garlic… seriously, what’s not to love?!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 28, 2015 at 8:01 amI know, right? 😉 Haha! XOXO
kimmythevegan says
March 27, 2015 at 8:59 pmKale in hummus???? Awesome! I love this flavour combo and how pretty it looks =)
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 10:01 pmHaha, thank you friend! 😉
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
March 27, 2015 at 2:46 pmI love this! Anything green. 🙂 And black garlic is the best! Do you like ramps too?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 3:47 pmBlack garlic is the best, but not in this recipe!
I don’t think I’ve ever had them :O
Christina @ Juggling Real Food and Real Life says
March 27, 2015 at 2:21 pmGreat recipe Rebecca! Thanks so much for sharing it with all of our Let’s Get Real readers. Sounds like you are as crazy for hummus as I am. You mention that you cook the chick peas. I’ve always used them raw. How long do you cook them for?
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 2:29 pmYou can’t use “raw” chickpeas. That would mean they are hard and dried, lol.
twitchetts.blogspot.com says
March 27, 2015 at 1:55 pmI can’t wait to try this!! I thought it was Guacamole when I first saw the pic!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 2:00 pmHaha, no! Kale!!!
Lori says
March 27, 2015 at 1:12 pmWhat a fun hummus recipe! Love it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 1:43 pmThank you!
Audrey @ Unconventional Baker says
March 27, 2015 at 1:34 amThis sounds amazing, Rebecca. I love making fancy hummus — never tried it with kale yet, but it looks very scrumptious! Favorite way to eat hummus? Probably ANY WAY 🙂 I usually have it as a side to my salad, or dip some carrots into it, or just eat it with a spoon… Anything in a jar in my kitchen is in danger of being eaten up with a spoon straight out of the jar 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 27, 2015 at 1:48 amHaha, jarred foods are the best foods….if we include nut butter in that category 😉
Thank you Audrey! XOXO
Hannah says
March 26, 2015 at 5:42 pmI read your recipe with trepidation since I’m allergic to sesame seeds, so I was very excited to see a recipe with no nuts and with kale, how healthy! I look forward to making some.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 26, 2015 at 6:20 pmYAY! I hope you love it! I also have another nut/seed free hummus recipe!
nutritious deliciousness says
March 26, 2015 at 9:32 amLove the look of this hummus. need another way to use kale!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 26, 2015 at 9:37 amWe can never have enough ways to use kale! 😉
Mummy Whiskers says
March 26, 2015 at 9:01 amI love hummus but have never thought of making it with kale, looks fantastic. I will have to give it a try now! #bakeoftheweek
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 26, 2015 at 9:06 amYou should! Thank you! XOXO
Charlotte says
March 26, 2015 at 8:06 amThank you for sharing your healthy and green hummus recipe. It looks delicious. I pinned your recipe so I can try it. Have a great Thursday!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 26, 2015 at 8:29 amThank you Charlotte!
Christy@SweetandSavoring says
March 25, 2015 at 5:59 pmOh, yum. The only greens I’ve ever put in hummus were parsley and spinach. Kale is a great idea! I’m beyond excited for the coming months with loads of fresh produce that we haven’t seen in months!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 25, 2015 at 6:32 pmMe too! Produce is one of those things that just brings so much joy! Haha! All the beautiful cooking that can be done!
Honest mum says
March 25, 2015 at 4:09 pmSo tasty and healthy too! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says

eat good 4 life says
March 25, 2015 at 10:24 amWhat a fantastic idea. I love the addition of kale!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 25, 2015 at 10:28 amThank you my friend!
Krystal says
March 25, 2015 at 7:39 amI love hummus and your version looks so delish! I really like to use it in place of pizza sauce, but it really is so versatile. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 25, 2015 at 7:46 amIt is so versatile! That’s why I love it so much! Thanks Krystal!
Choclette says
March 24, 2015 at 2:56 pmSounds delicious. I’m a big fan of hummus, but haven’t yet tried adding greens to it. Lovely idea. I suspect it would be pretty good with tahini and lemon juice too.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 2:58 pmThanks! Well that isn’t in this hummus recipe.
Analida's Ethnic Spoon says
March 24, 2015 at 2:35 pmI love make hummus almost once or twice a week and I love your version! Pinned and stumbled!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 3:57 pmThank you! Oh it is one of my staples too! GOTTA have it!
Alyssa @ Simply Quinoa says
March 24, 2015 at 2:01 pmI love, love, LOVE hummus! And I’m really liking that you made this one with kale – anything green gives me a little happiness inside 🙂 My fave two for one has to be quinoa (of course!). Such a great thing to make ahead and use in whatever type of recipe you want!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 3:58 pmGreen gives me happiness too 😉 Haha!
Quinoa is such an awesome make-ahead grain! I mean…just like hummus, you can use it for everything! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert!
Beverley Cheng says
March 24, 2015 at 10:37 amYum! Looks (and sounds) delicious! Way to get that added bit of vitamins and nutrients by sneaking in some kale. Love it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 11:36 amTotally! Thank you Beverley!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
March 24, 2015 at 7:51 amLove this! Looks like a great way to use the hummus a second time.
I make a big batch of black beans and rice… then use the black beans for other recipes like burritos or quesadillas.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 8:36 amIt’s those foods you get in the “bulk bins” that just have endless uses! Like beans, grains, nuts, etc!
Kristy @ Southern In Law says
March 24, 2015 at 4:21 amYum! This looks soooo good! You can never go wrong with hummus
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 4:29 amThank you Kristy!
Priyanka @ The Adventures of Anti-Wheat Girl says
March 23, 2015 at 10:30 pmYou have combined me 3 favorite things and I am SO excited to try it out! I’m usually just a chip and hummus kind of girl but I think I might try it on pasta like you mentioned. Thanks for the great ideas 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 8:40 amYea! Just mix it in and you’ll love the extra creaminess…and healthiness!
Emily says
March 23, 2015 at 8:55 pmThat hummus looks good. 🙂 My family loves hummus, and that looks like something you could do with kale that’s different from the usual.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 8:41 amTotally! Thank you so much Emily, I hope you get a chance to try this version some time!
Emily says
March 24, 2015 at 9:54 amMe too! 🙂
Patty @ Reach Your Peak says
March 23, 2015 at 8:27 pmyum!! I love hummus and love sandwiches, so I’ll have to make this to use instead of mayo!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 24, 2015 at 8:44 amYes! Don’t delay!
Kelly says
March 23, 2015 at 7:22 pmThis looks good! Kale, garlic.. a win-win! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 7:35 pmThank you Kelly!!!
dixya | food, pleasure, and health says
March 23, 2015 at 5:47 pmlast week i ate roasted bell pepper hummus with pretty much everything..im going to have to try this version soon.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 6:12 pmThat’s the version I posted last time 😉
kellie@foodtoglow says
March 23, 2015 at 5:09 pmSimple but genius. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 Came over via Emily at A Mummy Too as I love anything kale and anything hummus!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 5:12 pmThank you for stopping by! Haha and thank you for lovin’ the hummus!
Kimberly/TheLittlePlantation says
March 23, 2015 at 4:12 pmI looooove simple recipes like these.
Hummus forms a major part of my diet. It’s filling and delicious and a great source of plant-bsed calcium. So a winner all around right?
I like mine with in a sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and avocado. Umm yummy 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 4:46 pmThe simple ones are the best!
Mmm, yes yummy! Every sandwich is good if it involved hummus!
Erica says
March 23, 2015 at 3:59 pmRebecca! This looks so good! I can never have enough hummus and I’m one of those garlic loving people you speak of. I’ll make this for my book club sometime this year.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 4:45 pmThank you! Can’t not love hummus! (even though I hated it for all my childhood!) Haha!
Emily @SinfulNutrition says
March 23, 2015 at 3:32 pmI’ve been making my own hummus like crazy (hence my redux recipe as well!) so this will be making it’s way to the next one to try!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 3:40 pmI need to check out yours! (I’m late to checking out everyone’s redux!) But…yes…hummus is life!
Joy @ Joy Love Food says
March 23, 2015 at 3:29 pmI love hummus, kale sounds like a wonderful addition!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 3:40 pmIt so it!
Georgie says
March 23, 2015 at 3:01 pmI’ve been looking to makes some homemade hummus and you’ve totally inspired me. I love adding extra greens to whatever foods I can, what a great use for kale <3
Happy Monday
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 3:04 pmHummus is the easiest to make! You can’t mess it up!
Allie says
March 23, 2015 at 2:47 pmI must try this. I have such a hard time getting my daughter to eat vegetables but she loves hummus.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 3:04 pmThen this is going to be a winner!
Sarah says
March 23, 2015 at 1:48 pmGreen keeps going, love it, and hummus so I can’t wait to try this one!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:53 pmThank you Sarah! Keep the greens coming!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
March 23, 2015 at 1:28 pmThis would be perfect in a wrap!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:41 pmFor sure!
Cynthia @ You Signed Up For WHAT?! says
March 23, 2015 at 1:27 pmI love hummus but don’t always get it at the store since so many have sesame and my son is allergic. Thanks!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:40 pmThis is perfect then!
GiselleR @ Diary of an ExSloth says
March 23, 2015 at 1:25 pmOddly enough, I don’t eat hummus that often, but I love it for dipping chips or pita and carrots.
If I ever actually get around to making hummus, this recipe is gonna be on the list 😀
Pinning!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:40 pmWell I hope so!!! Make some! It’s so easy!
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
March 23, 2015 at 1:18 pmThis would be AMAZING pizza sauce – omg I’m just thinking of how much stuff I would eat this on!! love the recipe and anytime I can find a new way to use kale I’m excited!! Thanks for sharing!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:42 pmThe ultimate pizza “sauce” for sure! Thank you Sam!
Sandra Laflamme says
March 23, 2015 at 12:18 pmI would definitely use this on a sandwich. It would be great with turkey in a wrap with some veggies!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:40 pmHummus on sandwiches is my go-to!
Alanna says
March 23, 2015 at 12:14 pmIf kale and hummus are involved, I am good to go 😉 I love using hummus in place of mayo and pretty much for anything else. Yum!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:42 pmYea, hummus is a perfect sub for…everything!
Angela says
March 23, 2015 at 12:12 pmOoooo this looks really good! I’ve never made hummas before but maybe I’ll give this one a try! Stopping by from the Blogging Elite!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:40 pmIt’s so easy! You’ll love it!
Shashi RunninSrilankan says
March 23, 2015 at 11:36 amRebecca – your garlic kale hummus sounds wonderful – I love the thought of using this as a pizza “Sauce” – so flavorful!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 1:43 pmTotally! Thank you Shashi!
Linda @ Veganosity says
March 23, 2015 at 10:31 amYou just made one of my favorite foods even better. I didn’t think that was possible, but you did it my friend. 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:40 amHahaha, my life is complete then 😉
Erin says
March 23, 2015 at 10:19 amoh my goodness this looks amazing! I love kale an hummus so together!!!
Thanks!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:40 amThank you! It’s a killer combo!
Sarah | (Cooking for) Kiwi & Bean says
March 23, 2015 at 10:16 amLooks great! I love that you don’t use tahini in this recipe, as we have a sesame allergy in the house. Great idea to add kale to it for a little nutritional boost, also. My kids will never guess ;-).
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:39 amThey won’t 😉 They’ll just love that it’s a fun color 😉
Sonali- The Foodie Physician says
March 23, 2015 at 10:03 amI’m obsessed with hummus too and yours looks phenomenal! On a side note, I LOVE black garlic too- so good!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:39 amThank you!
I need to make a black garlic hummus next!
Olivia Schwab says
March 23, 2015 at 9:42 amThis looks incredible!! I’m going to have to try this recipe!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:38 amThank you! I hope you do!
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
March 23, 2015 at 9:37 amI love the flavor combo here and wouldn’t have paired kale with hummus but you always find ways to be deliciously creative 🙂 I think my favorite thing to have leftovers for is roasted chicken. I use the meat for chicken salad or hash and the bones can be used for broth. Also homemade mayo I just use with everything 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:38 amThank you!
Yea! Chicken is such a great leftover food to have! I think it always tastes better the second time anyway!
Holly says
March 23, 2015 at 9:35 amLove this! Making this week!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:37 amThank you Holly!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says
March 23, 2015 at 9:13 ami LOVE using hummus as a pizza sauce! This flavor combo sounds perfect. I’ve never tried greens in hummus.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:37 amThanks Lindsay! Gotta make green hummus 😉
Brittany says
March 23, 2015 at 9:01 amI’m a huge hummus fan but haven’t ever tried adding kale to it. Will have to try that soon.
Also, hummus as pizza sauce is totally my jam. Love it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:36 amHummus on pizza is SOOO good! Perfect way to amp up the protein!
Paige @ Your Trainer Paige says
March 23, 2015 at 9:00 amI’m a huge fan of leftovers, and always cook too much on purpose. I have a feeling I’m also going to be a huge fan of this hummus 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:41 amThen make a few batches of this to have leftovers for sure 😉 XOXO
Natalie @ Feasting on Fruit says
March 23, 2015 at 8:59 amI’m a hummus dipper, especially with carrot sticks YUM! I’m also a weirdo and like my hummus sans garlic, but the kale addition looks pretty awesome!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:42 amAll the garlic, like roasted garlic hummus you can buy in the store are always way to over powering for me!
jess meddows says
March 23, 2015 at 8:56 amHummus is seriously one of my favourite foods. Garlic and kale sounds like such a delicious combo with hummus. I’ll have to try it out – onto the list of things I can make from your blog once i’m back in the western world and will have access to luxuries like kale again! lol 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:36 amFirst thing you must do then….make kale hummus! 🙂
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
March 23, 2015 at 8:01 amooh love this! I love making my own hummus and haven’t tried adding kale yet. Thanks for linking up w us today!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 8:37 amThank you Deb! XOXO
Melissa says
March 23, 2015 at 7:59 amOoh a hummus recipe that doesn’t use tahini? Count me in! I love garlic and kale, but wonder if the green color will scare friends/family off?
I love hummus alone and on a sandwich. Think – bagel or wrap with tons of crunchy veggies. Yum!

March 23, 2015 at 10:43 amYes! That’s my favorite way with hummus! Sandwiches and wraps!

March 23, 2015 at 7:58 amI loooove hummus, but have never been too inventive with it – love this garlic & kale version! I usually use hummus on sandwiches, toast, as a dip with vegetables or crackers…and if I have some to spare I throw it in dinner (I make an awesome cannelloni stuffed with roast vegetables and hummus…mmm).
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 10:43 amYum! The cannelloni sounds right up my ally!

March 23, 2015 at 7:55 amI have been eating SO MUCH hummus lately. Dipping things in it, putting it on salad…Can’t STOP!
I love that you added Kale to hummus…something I need to try!

March 23, 2015 at 8:37 amYou can never eat too much hummus 😉 Totally try this one! Make your salads extra green, haha!

March 23, 2015 at 7:47 amyes, i love the philosophy of cooking 1x, eating 2 or more! and i just picked up some black garlic from trader joe’s. fun to see it in this recipe. it has such deep flavor. great job on the redux!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 7:49 amNo, I just use normal garlic in this recipe, haha!

March 23, 2015 at 7:03 amMy entire family loves hummus, I probably should start making it homemade since we go through so much of it! Great ideas for some variety!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 7:47 amYes! That’s what I do! You can make SOO much homemade and save loads of money 😉

March 23, 2015 at 6:56 amI love making things that are really versatile to use in multiple things, and its so much better to make your own, rather than store bought. I love making some kind of thai peanut sauce, where I make it into tons of things for weeks after. Garlic and kale is a good combo for me! Thanks for joining us today!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 7:46 amYes! Any sauce or spread can be used in so many dishes through out the week! A great way to spruce up leftovers or what you have already meal prepped that week!

March 23, 2015 at 6:43 amYummy! 😀 I’ve definitely never tried throwing kale into hummus, but that’s such a great idea! 😀 I’ve combined hummus with pasta sauce before to change up regular pasta!

March 23, 2015 at 7:47 amHummus just makes any dish great! Almost everything can go well with some sort of hummus!

March 23, 2015 at 6:04 amUM…I don’t like kale by itself (it’s too peppery or sharp for me), but as hummus?! WOW. That looks seriously delish!
I love spreading hummus on a sammich, or dipping pepper slices or chips.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
March 23, 2015 at 7:48 amYou will love this one! It doesn’t taste “kaleish”, just DElish 😉 Hahaha!
