-
2 cups

ingredients
- 1 cup canned chick-peas
- 3⁄4 - 1 cup sesame seeds (I use one cup)

directions
- Drain liquid from chick peas and save. Combine all ingredients, including 1/2 cup of saved liquid, in a blender (or food processor). I sometimes use the entire can -- if you do, you may need a little more of the liquid.

- Chill covered, for a couple of hours.
- Serve with pita wedges or veggies (crudites).

I happened to have all the ingredients for this on hand and wanted to use up some of my sesame seeds. I had Good Seasons Italian dressing mix which is vegan so used that instead of the cheese garlic. I really like the taste of this and it's so easy. I used the food processor which didn't do a good job of breaking down the sesame seeds though. Next time I'll use the blender and blend the seeds first until they're smooth, then add the other ingredients. I think my processor is just too big for the tiny sesame seeds. I had to taste some before chilling, but I know it will be even better after it mellows for a while. A nice recipe.
