Spinach and Artichoke Hummus Recipe

Yesterday I made spinach and artichoke heart hummus. I love hummus and I love making hummus but this was by far the best hummus that I have ever made! Delicious. I followed a recipe I found on Rachael Ray's website after googling "spinach and artichoke hummus". Rachael Ray is such a cutie, I can see why she has such a large following.
This is how I used the recipe with a WW pointsplus breakdown.
Makes 7 servings.
3 points per serving
First make standard hummus in food processor or blender.
*I use a blender because I don't have a food processor. I just have to add a bit of water so that my blender doesn't jam up, but if anything it just makes the hummus smoother!
**1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed (10 pts)
**3 cloves of minced garlic (free)
**1/4 cup olive oil (5 pts)
**2 tbsp. tahini (5 pts)
**lemon juice (free)
**water
**salt and pepper
Blend together in blender. Total, 20 pts for the hummus.
Then add spinach and artichoke hearts. I added them in the blender, but it might be easier to mix in a bowl.
**Frozen spinach - defrosted and drained (I put spinach in a paper town and squeezed all of the extra liquid out over the sink (0 points)
**1 can of artichoke hearts packed in water - drained and rinsed. I'd chop them up first. (o points)
Mix everything together and VOILA! A delicious low point hummus recipe. So good. I separated the hummus into seven separate dishes making them 3 points for 126 grams.
