Fresh Green Chickpeas Spread

Fresh green chickpeas for me are big deal! I could not believe that I found them in the freezer section at Costco the other day, and I never had fresh chickpeas before. Normally, I like to add them to salads, but as a hummus expert maker, I thought why not creating a spread out of it, and sure enough, I tried and it turned out amazing! Super simple to make, and great protein source. I actually made it as a new spread for my kids lunches :) you can top it with celery, lettuce, tomatoes avocado, and whatever vegetable that you prefer. It's good!!

Enjoy:)
