Ingredients:

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 19-oz can chick peas, drained, liquid reserved

3 tbsp olive oil, or less

5 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

In a food processor with the blade in place, chop the walnuts quite finely. Add in the chick peas, chick pea liquid, arugula, spinach, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and Mados Hot Sauce.
