Pair vegetable sticks or pita triangles with this tasty twist on a classic snack that packs a nourishing punch from walnuts, one of the most versatile and nutrient-dense foods. Not only do walnuts enhance the flavor of this creamy dish, but they’re the only nut that provides an excellent source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids (2.5 grams in every ounce).
½ cup walnuts, toasted
1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
