If you are looking for a healthy and tasty dish for yourself, your family or for a gathering, this spinach and chickpea dish is perfect. Just a few simple ingredients and a little chopping and you have a clean, healthy and delicious dish to serve. Let me emphasize that this dish is so good!!!
It is amazing how just a few simple ingredients can come together to make such a flavorful dish. One thing I add to this dish is red pepper flakes because we like to add a nice kick of spice in our dishes. If you don’t like spice, this dish is equally as good without the red pepper flakes.
I like to serve this dish in whole wheat pita bread, but you can serve this on crackers, toasted bread, or alone. I make this dish year round, but the colors in this dish are definitely fitting for the festivities around the holidays. We tend to eat a lot of heavy dishes and sweets, so this Spinach and Chickpea Tapas dish is a great clean dish to serve for your family and guests.
