Green Surprise Dip

Adapted from Simply in Season, this dip is super quick to make!

Adapted from Simply in Season, this dip is super quick to make!

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch steamed kale (could also use other greens. I steamed it by adding a bit of water to a large frying pan and stir frying it)
  • 1 C plain yogurt
  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1/4 C  mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 C chives
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Puree in blender or food processor.

The Verdict: The original recipe called for half the amount of chickpeas, but I didn’t want to use half a can so I used a whole one. It turned out a wee bit on the soupy side but the flavor was seriously delicious. I served it on Triscuits and DH loved it!

    I am glad to find this recipe. I am looking for different ways to use kale. Currently, I put a handful in my morning smoothies.

    WOW! Great way to use that extra kale.
    I’m kinda curious – is the surprise something distinct about in the flavor or simply that something so green tastes so good?
    I’m also a a kale-in-my-smoothies girl.

      I think the surprise is that you use kale instead of spinach. I know, not super exciting LOL.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen kale used this way. I suppose it’s kinda like spinach, so why not? I love all the ingredients, so I am sure I’d enjoy it.

    Stopping by from SITS.
