Holy smokes is this yummy! Is about all I have to say. And ridiculously easy to pull together, too, especially if you have extra Spicy-Sweet shrimp on hand--or substitute other leftovers, like Mohogony Grilled Chicken. Packed with flavor yet light and refreshing, it's a go-to, one-dish meal for the dog days of summer.

Spanish-Leaning Spinach and Chickpea Dip

Spinach Hummus
I waffled about whether to name this 'hummus' or 'chickpea dip', but ultimately thought it veered far enough from tradition to go with the latter. It is, in any case, delicious. If you've ever had any doubt as to the strength of pounded garlic, this little dish will set you straight.
