Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Chic Pea Dip W/Veggies

Chic Pea Dip W/Veggies


This more-healthful-than-hummus dip -- with its colorful vegetable salad on top -- partners well with pita bread and is great for a summer picnic or other party.


1 12.5-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well

1 cup plain low fat yogurt (equivalent to one 8 oz. container of yogurt)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

3 drops hot pepper sauce

1 carrot, grated

2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced

2 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped


1/4 red onion, diced


Blend chickpeas, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and hot sauce in a blender until smooth. Transfer dip to a shallow serving bowl, and pile the colorful vegetables on top, leaving an outer rim of dip to be seen. Serve with pita bread or toasted wheat bread triangles.
