Chickpea Dip
If you're looking for a healthier alternative to sour cream-based dips, give this chickpea dip a try. Made with extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme, it pairs wonderfully with pita chips or crudité.
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ lemon squeezed
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. You can also hold back on the olive oil and slowly pour it in separately while pulsing the other ingredients. If you want to loosen the dip, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time.
- Taste the dip and make sure it has enough salt and pepper. Add more garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, and lemon juice if you'd like. Serve the dip in a bowl and drizzle some more extra virgin olive oil on top. Enjoy!
