For the final recipe on Day 7 of “Hip Hip for Hummus Week”, we visit a classic cheesy dip translated into a healthier (and vegan) alternative — spinach and artichoke hummus!
I thought it would be a fun experiment, but was surprised by how much I loved this recipe! The classic spin-artichoke combination, paired with the rich tahini and lemon juice proved to be even more flavorful (in my opinion!) than the classic dip I’ve made for years! And…you get to trade in a bunch of extra fiber for all of that cheese. :)
I’m sure I’ll still continue to make both, but this is a wonderful alternative for whenever you get the spinach artichoke craving! And, with no baking required, it can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes. Perfect!
As a recap, here were the 7 recipes in “Hip Hip for Hummus Week”. Enjoy!!

Description
You’ll love this Spinach Artichoke Hummus Recipe! A healthy, yummy idea to serve as a snack, appetizer, or game day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, drained (juice reserved)
- 4 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
- 1/2 cup artichoke hearts
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor, and blend until smooth. If you desire a thinner consistency, add in a few extra tablespoons of the reserved chickpea juice.
Ali’s Tip:
To give this an extra kick, I also tried adding in a seeded fresh jalapeno, and it was fantastic! You could even add in half of a pepper if you’d like.
Also, to make this taste a little more like classic spinach-artichoke dip, just mix in 1/4 (or 1/2 cup) grated parmesan cheese.

What a great idea. Spinach/artichoke dip is an all-time fave and so is hummus. Why didn’t I ever think to bring them together??

I just made this and it is SOO good! It’ doesn’t taste like typical hummus – way better! The artichokes and garlic add the best flavor. And the vibrant green color makes it look super healthy. Addicting with gluten-free crackers!

I just whipped this up. Yum. Such a nice vibrant color. I like extra lemon squeezed on top of this. I didn’t miss the cheese. Thank you for the recipe!

Just checking… you are using canned artichoke hearts in water, not marinated? Fresh?

Hi Deb! We use the jarred ones. We hope you enjoy this!

I made this and loved it. Only change I will make in the future is that the garlic was very strong, so I will probably roast or lightly saute it before I put it in next time. Or just use less potent garlic!
