So glad you enjoyed It!
This was absolutely scrummy! Easy to make and great combination of flavors. Love the scallions and lemon. Used mictogreens.
Glad you enjoyed!!!
So good! I ended up using half a can of chickpeas (so a bit more than half a cup) and chipotle chili pepper in place of the cayenne. I spread it on whole grain naan and topped with spinach and tomato slices. I could eat this every day!

Sounds perfect!
Just made with ingredients I had. It was delicious. I put in a Millet and flax wrap. One thing to note chickpeas + bread or wrap is double carbs. Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein but starchy. Keep in mind with portion of chickpeas if you are adding to grains (rice, bread, wrap), sweet potato. Good to have an idea for balanced eating.
