From my son’s blog, thebestfoodblog.com
This weekend I went out to Long Island to meet P2 who had been out there working. When I arrived he had made this amazing dip for us to snack on before dinner. So amazing in fact that he made it again the next night before dinner. Knowing I would need to share it with the world, I couldn’t wait for an excuse to make it. So yesterday, my friend Cassaundra sent me a message that she and her friends were having a picnic at the park by my place, and wanted to know if I was into coming along. I said “Yes! I’ll make the dip”!
What luck. 3rd day in a row! I ran off to the store to get the ingredients.
Here is what you’ll need:
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1 can of white beans
- half a small can of diced Jalapeño, or more if you like it spicy ( or 1 fresh Jalapeño diced)
- a handful of fresh Cilantro
- a little sprinkle of garlic powder (or 2 clove fresh garlic)
- about a teaspoon of Cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- about half a cup of olive oil. (You may need more so just grab the bottle).
So, put everything in a food processor but the olive oil. You want to stream that in slowly while the blade is turning until the dip is smooth, but still a little thick. Taste to see if you need more salt or pepper, and that’s it. SO easy, right?
Everyoneone at the picnic loved it, and so will you. I served it with some sliced veg and thin crackers. You could even top crostini with it and serve as an app.
Enjoy! XOXO -P
