Ingredients

1 14.5 oz can chick peas or garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
1 whole lemon use the juice and the zest
2 cloves garlic the more the better, measure with your heart
2 tbsp avocado oil sub in olive oil if you prefer
2 tbsp whole milk Greek yogurt
2 tbsp hemp hearts optional

Instructions

Drain and rinse your canned beans.
Zest and juice the lemon entirely. Discard seeds. If you don't like quite as much lemon flavor, still zest it and save the zest in the freezer for your next spaghetti sauce.
Mince the garlic.
Add the zest, juice, oil, hemp hearts (if using), yogurt, and garlic to your food processor/blender (or use an immersion blender) and mix until desired consistency. You may need to add a little yogurt or oil to make it extra creamy.
