Ingredients
- One 15 ounce can ( ~ 2 cups) drained canned chickpeas (or cook your own)

- 3 Tbsp e.v. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Bring a pan to medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook ~ 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic brown as it will taste bitter.
- Add all ingredients into food processor
or blender
. Blend until smooth (let the food processor run for at least a minute or two). Scrape down the sides and run the processor again. Add more water or Lemon Juice to make creamier or tangier if desired.
- Add sea salt to taste and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Spread over or use as a dip for bread and veggies. Happy Eating! Beckie
Notes
- Don’t want to dirty a pan? Skip sauteing the garlic and add it in raw.
- Add pomegranate kernels or toasted pine nuts to the top if you want to up your game.
