Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (or 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, washed and drained)
  • 1 medium avocado (pitted and peeled)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic (chopped)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon red onion (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and drain chickpeas if using canned, pit and peel the avocado, chop cilantro, garlic, and red onion finely to ensure smooth blending and fresh flavor integration.
  2. Blend the Dip: Add chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, and sea salt to a food processor. Process until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Mix and Serve: Transfer the blended dip to a medium bowl, gently stir in the finely chopped red onion for a slight crunch and added flavor. Serve immediately as a healthy dip or spread and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture fewer times to leave some chickpeas whole.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your desired spice level or omit for milder taste.
  • This dip pairs well with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • If not serving immediately, sprinkle a little lime juice on top to prevent avocado browning.
