Spinach-Artichoke Hummus image

A recipe I made up for Super Bowl Sunday, inspired by some really good store-bought spinach-artichoke hummus. I thought that using hummus as a base was a brilliant way to veganize spinach-artichoke dip (one of my favorites), so I decided to make my own, chunkier version. Serve with Recipe #473753.
