Healthy Artichoke Dip

Dips are great for veggies and homemade whole grain crackers!  This recipe is basically hummus, but with artichoke hearts.

Ingredients:

• 1 can artichoke hearts (14 ounce can, drained)
• 1 can reduced sodium chickpeas (15 ounce can, drained and rinsed)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lemon (freshly squeezed)
• 2 cloves garlic (freshly crushed)
• 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast (I got mind at Trader Joe's, but it would probably taste fine without it)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon pink himalayan salt (I didn't add any salt)

Directions:

Put all ingredients into a Vitamix (or regular blender) and blend just long enough until everything is well combined.  Do not over process (you want to still have small pieces of artichoke)
