Say what you will about AI; I asked the free version of ChatGPT for a recipe using chickpeas/garbanzo beans and received this:
Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for chickpea-based salad dressing. It’s creamy, healthy, and versatile!
Creamy Chickpea Salad Dressing
Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup cooked or canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tahini (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar for tang)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for a warm flavor)
• 1/4 cup water (or more for desired consistency)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins:
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (for a touch of sweetness)
• Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro
Instructions:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or sweetener if necessary.
4. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Shake or stir before serving.
This dressing works wonderfully on leafy greens, grain bowls, or roasted veggies. Would you like variations or serving suggestions?
