- 1 lb Village Farms scrumptious mini cucumbers
- 1 lb Village Farms sinfully sweet campari tomatoes
- ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb Chickpeas, cooked
- 2 cloves Garlic
- ¼ cup Sesame seeds
- ¼ cup Fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley

- Once the mixture is smooth, add garlic, chickpeas, and sesame seeds, and continue to purée.
