  • 1 15- oz can cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 tsp lemon or lime juice
Instructions
  1. To blender, add salsa, cottage cheese, chickpeas and lemon/lime juice in that order (for best blending).
  2. Blend for a minute or so, scraping down the sides with a spatula ass needed, until creamy and smooth.
  3. Transfer mixture to a serving dish and smooth the top, making circular grooves to hold the salsa garnish. Use a spoon to drizzle on a couple more tablespoons of salsa.
  4. Add any additional toppings, as desired, such as fresh herbs, seeds/nuts, olive oil, etc. Serve with Gilly’s Loco tortilla chips. May also use as a heated filling or sauce by microwaving for a few minutes and adding to burritos, quesadillas, or tossing with pasta, etc.
