Ingredients
1CanChickpeas,drained and rinsed (15 oz)
4TbspDairy-free plain yogurt
2TbspGood quality balsamic vinegar
Pinch of sea salt
6TbspOregon Fruit Canned Blackberries,Drained and packed
1 1/2TbspFresh basil,thinly sliced
6SlicesBread,of choice
Instructions
Place the chickpeas, yogurt, balsamic vinegar and salt in a large bowl and mash until most of the chickpeas are broken down, leaving some a little chunky for texture. I find using a potato mashed helps a lot!
Add in the blackberries, lightly mashing them and stirring them in until well mixed. Stir in the basil.
For optimum yumminess: cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to chill and develop the flavors.
