Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can chickpeas
  • 2-3 ice cubes
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro for more for serving

Instructions

  • Place chickpeas in a bowl of water and rub them together to peel the skin (optional step, but helps create a creamy texture).

  • While the food processor is running, add the ice cubes, lemon juice, tahini, garlic clove and salt, and blend for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  • Finally, add the avocados and cilantro and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust as needed by adding more lemon juice or salt.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Make sure to place plastic directly on top of the dip touching it to help slow down the browning.
Video: Please note the video uses 2 tablespoons warm water, but the recipe card uses a couple ice cubes. Either option works, but I prefer the ice cubes.
