Ingredient Notes:
Chickpeas: With their nutty flavour, and buttery texture, chickpeas are so perfect for any dish, and great for dips. For this recipe, I used Silo’s Chickpeas which are high quality, and high in protein and fibre.
Tahini: Tahini is made with toasted, ground-hulled sesame and is an infamous Middle Eastern condiment. It’s a major ingredient in several dips like hummus, but can also be used in things like salad dressings too!
How to make whipped feta & chickpea dip:
- Add the garlic cloves, cooked Silo Chickpeas, sea salt, black pepper, tahini, greek yogurt lemon juice, and cream to a food processor.
- Blend until combined.
- Add the feta and blend until slightly smooth.
- While blending, slowly stream in the olive oil until smooth.
- Repeat this process for the ice-cold water as well until you reach a light, smooth consistency.
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve with fresh veggies, tortilla chips or a toasted baguette! Enjoy!
