60g
1/3 cup greek yogurt
80g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

2. Blend Chickpeas and Yogurt: Place the chickpeas into a food processor or blender. Add the Greek yogurt and blend until the chickpeas are broken down and start to form a creamy consistency.
3. Incorporate Olive Oil: With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Add Coriander and Seasoning: Add the chopped coriander leaves to the mixture. Pulse a few times to distribute the coriander evenly throughout the dip. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and pulse again briefly to mix.
5. Adjust Consistency (Optional): If the dip is too thick, you can add a small amount of water or additional olive oil to reach the desired consistency. Blend until smooth.
6. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with additional coriander leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
7. Enjoy: Serve the yoghurt and chickpea dip with pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies.

Tips:

- Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly to reduce excess sodium and improve flavor.

- For a smoother dip, consider peeling the chickpeas by gently rubbing them between paper towels to remove the skins.

- Adjust the consistency of the dip by adding more olive oil or a splash of water if necessary.
