Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 oz. can chickpeas $1.15
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice $0.18
  • 1/4 cup olive oil $0.48
  • 1/4 cup tahini $0.85
  • 1/4 cup basil pesto $1.33
  • 1/4 tsp salt $0.02, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder $0.02, or 1 clove fresh garlic

Instructions

  1. Drain the chickpeas and add them to a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Process the ingredients until smooth, adding a little water, olive oil, or drained liquid from the chickpeas to thin out the mixture if needed.
  3. Garnish with a few whole chickpeas, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of pesto, if desired.

Notes

  • *I used garlic powder this time instead of fresh garlic because it's a bit easier on the stomach. The pesto also contains garlic, so I didn't find I needed to add much. One clove of fresh garlic can be used in place of the powdered garlic.
