RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Fresh rosemary and lemon brighten mild, nutty chickpeas. Dip with pita wedges or endive leaves. For a quick lunch, try this in pita bread with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. Or thin with a little vegetable broth to make an easy soup.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium vegetable broth (such as Swanson's Certified Organic)

I didn't hate this recipe, but I would not make it again. It's just not worth it. I love chickpeas and I love rosemary, but this recipe just didn't bring much to the table.

I have been through a multitude of dips on CL, and this one just isn't up to par with the others i have found. It was a bit like a playdough texture... I'd probably add more chicken broth to make it creamier!

This dip was okay but I used dried chickpeas (not canned) to make it and found the dip needed extra liquid added to it for it to puree to a smooth consistency. I might try making it again with canned chickpeas the next time I have fresh rosemary around.
