Very good! I saw no reason to salt so that was omitted. Used 1/2 tablespoon curry powder {nice touch}, didn't want it to overpower the delicate flavor of the chickpeas. In place of the parsley used cilantro. I couldn't omit the olive oil which I just topped it with about 1 tablespoon. I must admit I was licking the spoon and processor clean. Yummy! Thanks Connie!
