Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves loosely packed
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can chickpeas drained and rinsed (about 1 ½ cups)
  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 garlic clove

Instructions

  • Spread the pine nuts in a single layer across the bottom of a dry skillet. Bring over medium heat and cook for a few minutes, stirring or shaking the skillet fairly regularly until golden. Pine nuts can go from golden brown to black quickly, so pay attention to them so they toast rather than burn!
  • Place all ingredients including the toasted pine nuts in a food processor and turn it on. Process for 2-3 minutes until smooth. You may want to stop it halfway through and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is well combined.
