Ingredients
Scale
Chickpea Dip
- 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Topping
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
To Serve
- 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for warming the tortilla chips if desired. This step ensures crispiness when serving.
- Blend the Dip: Place chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, and salt into a blender. Blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, forming the base of your dip.
- Mix in Parsley: Transfer the smooth chickpea mixture into a bowl and fold in the chopped fresh parsley to add freshness and vibrant flavor to the dip.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the diced avocado and halved cherry tomatoes. This mixture will add a fresh, creamy, and tangy element that complements the dip perfectly.
- Serve: Arrange the tortilla chips on a serving platter, spoon the chickpea dip onto a serving bowl, and top with the avocado and tomato mixture. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can warm the tortilla chips in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes if desired to add extra crispiness.
- Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste for a perfectly balanced dip.
- For extra spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the dip before blending.
- Store leftover dip covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
