Hommus Dip Recipe

Hommus Dip is one of my family's favourite dips. It’s inexpensive and is also quick to make, while also giving you the flexibility to change the ingredients according to your tastes. Not only that, but it's packed with goodness and loaded with protein.

I have it as a staple in my refrigerator all the time. It has a refrigerated shelf life of two weeks and can also be frozen. I often put half the mixture into an airtight container and keep it in the freezer until it's needed, unless there is a group of people coming over.

It makes a great appetiser with crackers or carrot sticks.

Ingredients:

• 1 Can of Chick Peas

• 1 Avocado

• ½ Spanish Onion

• 1 tbsp Peanut butter

• 1 tbsp Tahini

• ¼ cup olive oil

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice

• Salt and pepper

Method:

1. Put all ingredients into a tall bowl and mix with a stick blender.

2. Taste and adjust seasoning.

3. If the dip is too wet, add some raw cashews or similar.

4. Fold in 2 tbsps of chia seeds before serving.

Notes:

Makes approximately 2 cups.

This dip can be varied with the addition of semi-dried sun-dried tomatoes, roast pumpkin or beetroot.
