Why It's So Good For You

Chickpeas are high in fiber, protein, manganese and iron, making them a great nutrient-rich staple for vegetarians and vegans!

  • ¼ cup mild-tasting extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste (optional)

Directions
