🙋 Recommended for

  • Those looking for a healthy sauce to enjoy fresh vegetables more deliciously while dieting or managing their intake.
  • Individuals who want a quick and easy brunch or appetizer made in just 5 minutes without cooking.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 can canned chickpeas
  • Store-bought sesame dressing, about half the volume of the chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3-4 ice cubes
  • Assorted fresh vegetables, as needed
  • Crackers or baguette slices, as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under running water. Drain thoroughly to remove excess water.
  2. In a blender cup, combine the drained chickpeas and store-bought sesame dressing. (Use approximately half the volume of the chickpeas for the dressing).
  3. Add a generous amount of olive oil for flavor. Include 3-4 ice cubes to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without making it too thick.
  4. Blend until the ice cubes are completely crushed and the mixture forms a smooth, creamy puree.
  5. Cut assorted fresh vegetables (such as radishes, celery, carrots, cucumbers) into uniform, bite-sized sticks.
  6. Serve the creamy chickpea sesame spread in a bowl or on a plate, surrounded by the cut vegetable sticks and plain crackers.
  1. Rinse canned chickpeas and drain thoroughly.
  2. Combine chickpeas, sesame dressing, olive oil, and ice cubes in a blender.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Serve with cut fresh vegetables and crackers.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Adding ice cubes while blending helps lower the temperature from the blender's friction and creates a stable emulsion of oil and chickpea particles.
  • Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a convenient and healthy snack for several days.
  • For a more exotic, authentic hummus flavor, sprinkle with cumin powder or paprika on top, if desired.
