Chick-Pea, Garlic, And Parsley Dip

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.
