Avocado Hummus
Chelsea Colbath
A whole avocado gets blended up with hummus to make an extra creamy, rich dip with tons of fresh avocado flavor!
- 1-15 ounce can chickpeas drained (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- juice from 1 lemon about 1/4 cup
- 1 large clove of garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- a handful of fresh cilantro
- pumpkin seeds chili flakes, olive oil, and extra cilantro, for topping
1. Put all ingredients EXCEPT chickpeas and avocado into a food processor or high-powered blender, and blend until smooth. Add chickpeas and avocado, and blend again until thick and creamy. If needed, stop and scrape down the sides, and continue blending.
2. Transfer hummus to serving bowl, and sprinkle on toppings. Eat immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The lemon should keep the avocado in this hummus from browning, but after 4 days you can start to taste the avocado overripening.
