Instructions

1. In a food processor, add the spinach and pulse a few times until chopped very small
2. Add the processed spinach, drained garbanzo beans, and chopped onion into a large bowl
3. In the food processor (no need to rinse the bowl!), add the lime juice, cilantro, mustard, sugar, garlic, cumin, and oil and process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed
4. Pour the dressing on top of the spinach/garbanzo bean mixture and stir well
5. Add salt and pepper to taste
