Makes about 2 cups.
This hummus-like dip is lower in fat because it doesn’t contain
tahini.
1 19-ounce can chick-peas, rinsed and drained (about 2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, chopped and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, washed well and spun dry
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
In a food processor blend all ingredients except oil until smooth.
With motor running, add oil in a slow stream. Season dip to taste
with salt. Serve dip with toasted pita wedges or toasted French
bread slices.
