Smashed Avocado-Chick Pea Dip (with jalapenos!)

I adapted this recipe from Forks Over Knives, which has so many wonderful plant-based recipes. This was a hit at our recent Super Bowl party and tastes so fresh and clean!


Smashed Avocado Chick Pea Dip
Ingredients:
-1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed
-1 avocado
-1 large tomato, diced small
-6 stalks scallions, whites and greens, sliced small
-1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-2 jalapenos, seeded and diced small
-juice from 2-3 limes (around 1/4 cup)
-1/2 tsp. kosher salt and dash of fresh ground pepper


Method:
Using a potato masher, mash the chick peas in a medium bowl so they are smushed but not totally pulverized/smooth. Add the avocado and mash further so the mix is chunky. Add in the tomato, scallions, cilantro, garlic, jalapenos, lime juice and salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon until everything is combined.


Serve with pita chips, pita bread, pretzels or cut veggies!
