I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dip turned out grainy. I think I overcooked the chickpeas.

This dip is a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic powder and paprika and it was much better.

I like to add a little bit of chopped fresh cilantro to this dip. It gives it a nice pop of flavor.

The dip was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I added a little honey and it was perfect.

This dip is a delightful explosion of flavors and textures. The beets and chickpeas provide a savory base, while the almonds add a nutty crunch. The pita chips are the perfect accompaniment, providing a crispy vessel for scooping up the dip.
