Step 1
Pulse the garlic and chickpeas and about half of the basil in a food processor until finely minced and crumbly.

Step 3
Add the spinach or greens just before serving. Serve on the toasted bread. You can also serve this with chips or in a wrap.

Chef's notes
If you’re going to save some of the mixture for later, save the spinach separately and add it in just before serving, otherwise it will start to get soggy in the fridge.
For the nutrition label, 1/3 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt were used.
