Maple-Chipotle Chickpea Dressing
A creamy, flavorful dressing made with a base of chickpeas and flavored with maple syrup and the smoky essence of chipotle!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 - 1 tbsp tahini adjust to taste, 1 tbsp will give a richer, fuller flavor
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp chipotle hot sauce I use Tabasco brand; can use more if desired!
- 1/4 cup water or more to thin as desired
- optional: 2-3 tbsp cilantro chopped
Instructions
- n a blender (I use the Blendtec twister jar), add all ingredients except the cilantro. Puree until very smooth (this will take less than a minute in a high speed blender, may take several minutes in a standard blender). Taste, and adjust with additional lime juice, sweetener, or salt as desired. If using the cilantro, stir through. For a thinner dressing, add a touch more water and stir through. Serve! Makes about 3/4 - 1 cup dressing.
