Introduction

This creamy Middle Eastern spead takes minutes to prepare and will keep for several days, refrigerated. Serve as a snack with raw veggies, use as an omelette filling, or with your favourite chicken salad recipe. This recipe originally calls for chopped fresh cilantro but I've chosen to replace it with dried parsley instead.

CHICKPEA FACTOID: Also called garbanzo beans are firm, round, beige beans usd extensively in Middle Eastern, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. One 1/2 cup serving of chickpeas has 7 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and 60 milligrams of calcium.
