Greenwala Artichoke Hummus - 15g Carbs, 3g Fiber

Greenwala Artichoke Hummus - 15g Carbs, 3g Fiber

Low Cal (Less than 300 cals) Lower Carbs Veggie
2 cups cooked organic chickpeas
2 tablespoons organic tahini
2 tablespoons organic olive oil
1 cup artichoke hearts -- (canned, fresh, or frozen)
1 cloves fresh garlic -- (to-2) (depending on your taste)
1/2 cup water
Juice of 1 organic lemon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
Fresh parsley -- (for garnish)
Paprika -- (for garnish)

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until thick and creamy. To serve, spoon hummus into a rounded mound on a plate. Press the top of the mound gently with the back of a soup spoon to make an indent. Pour olive oil so it makes a small pool in the center of the hummus. Garnish with fresh parsley and paprika.
*It is recommended that you soak and cook your own dried chickpeas rather than using canned. This reduces packaging and tastes better, too!

Serves: 8
This delightful dip is great with fresh, seasonal, organic veggies, pita bread, chips, crackers, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
