Ingredients

• 1 7 oz jar of chickpeas – aka garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 c tahini paste
• 1 T lemon juice
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 2-4 T of water (add gradually until you get the desired consistency)
• 1 large roasted red pepper – about 4″ long (use two if they’re a lot smaller)
• olive oil to drizzle on the top
