Avocado and Arugula White Bean Hummus, Vegan and Gluten-Free

Avocado and Arugula White Bean Hummus

I love using white beans instead of chickpeas for hummus, they create a much smoother and lighter texture!  This hummus can be served with crackers, but would make an excellent spread on a grilled veggie sandwich!

After doing some research on bone health, I stumbled across the importance of beans (especially white beans) for bone integrity.  This recipe which incorporates white beans and arugula (also good for bone health!) is a winning combo providing calcium, magnesium and vitamin K.
