A hybrid between traditional homemade hummus and a lovely chickpea salad, this creamy sandwich spread is one of my favorites, especially this time of year.

It’s jam-packed with colorful crunchy veggies, and makes a perfectly satisfying springtime lunch.

I love that it’s as good at home as it is for those times you might need to take a sandwich with you on-the-go. It’s a fun one to customize with additional veggies, too…from crispy lettuce to fresh microgreens. Hope you love it too!
