Note

Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Stir before serving as separation may occur.

Tip: For a smoother texture, you can peel the skins off the chickpeas after rinsing, though this is optional for a quick no-bake version.

Variation: Add a teaspoon of tahini or cumin powder for a deeper, more traditional hummus-like flavor.

Safety: Ensure garlic is finely mashed or minced to avoid large chunks in the final dip.
