POINTS® Value: 3
Servings: 10
Preparation Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 0 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy

15 oz canned chickpeas, drained
1 medium garlic clove(s)
1/2 cup marinated artichokes, hearts, drained
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, or less to taste
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
6 3/4 oz Quaker Oats Quakes Crispy Mini's Rice Snacks - Ranch, or Sour Cream and Onion (about 120 pieces)

Combine all ingredients, except parsley and Quaker® Rice Snacks, in work bowl of a food processor. Pulse until smooth.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Stir in parsley. Dip or spread each Quakes Ranch Flavor Rice Snack with hummus.

Yields about 10 Quakes and 2 tablespoons of hummus per serving.

If desired, one (8 oz.) container of refrigerated ready-to-serve hummus may be substituted for the chickpeas (may affect POINTS values). Proceed as recipe directs using only 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and omitting the water. If the hummus is too thick, add water, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
