2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15oz) chick peas, drained and rinsed

1 lemon, juice and zest

2 tbsp. tahini

2 avocados

Salt and pepper

Olive oil

Paprika for garnish

Put the garlic cloves, chick peas, lemon zest and juice and the tahini in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to get a good creamy consistency. Add in the 2 avocados and blend until just smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with a tablespoon of olive oil drizzled on top and a sprinkle of paprika.

Serve with warmed pita or chips or veggies.

I have a secret for you, if you don’t have any tahini, you can sub in peanut butter. I know you are thinking this chick is nuts, but for real, peanut butter works. I use about half the amount of peanut butter that the recipe calls for. I thought I had tahini when I made this recipe but low and behold I was out, so I subbed in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for the 2 tablespoons of tahini. It tasted wonderful. It adds the same nuttiness you get from tahini.

So there you have it, a perfect dip that would be great anytime, anywhere!
