![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve taken the pulse pledge this year and so should you! Not only are pulses so tasty, they are a healthy, sustainable food source. Pulses are so versatile and with just a few seasoning they become so delicious. Every 1/2 cup of cooked pulses delivers 9 grams of protein! Pulses are any of the the following food items beans, peas, chickpeas or lentils. You may not have heard the term “pulses” much before but you’re probably already eating the all the time. Part of what makes this a healthy dip are the garbanzo beans (aka chick peas) which are part of the pulse family. Usually party foods are always pretty indulgent but this one is loaded with good for you ingredients. I love that this is such a delicious yet healthy appetizer or snack to serve at parties (double the recipe for a larger crowd and spread into a 13 by 9-inch dish). Don’t you just want to dive into all that goodness? Please use a real lemon for the lemon juice and not a squeezable plastic lemon, as the flavor is not the same.Seven Layer Greek Dip is a fun Mediterranean spin on the classic version we’re all used to! This dip begins with a layer of freshly made hummus then it’s topped with a creamy, garlic-herb Greek yogurt layer then a layer of English cucumbers, grape tomatoes, black or kalamata olives, then finally it’s finished with feta and red onions.It may be hard to find in a traditional grocery store, but you can get it HERE from Amazon. It’s perfect on these beans, and is amazing sprinkled on hummus and Greek salad. Sumac is a maroon colored spice that adds a subtle tangy, lemony flavor to your dish.I have made that recipe with both cannellini beans and lima beans, and they both turn out great!įlavorful Eats is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to and affiliated sites.
