In honor of St. Patrick’s day I had to come out with something green and snacky to enjoy with a good beer! I had some leftover green chickpeas in my freezer just waiting for the occasion. You can get green chickpeas at Costco and other specialty shops, but edamame would also work great, and because there is cilantro in the recipe, a regular chickpea would still make the dip somewhat green.
Please let me know what you think of the recipe and if you try it yourself. It makes a LOT which you can freeze for another time, but you might just eat the whole lot like I did this week.
Happy holidays Irish friends!
