Ah, avocados. They’re like the butter of the fruit world, right?
Creamy, rich, and a little extra in every way—kind of like my obsession with them lately. Combine that with the earthy goodness of hummus and you’ve got a match made in snack heaven.
I remember the first time I tried this combo; I was skeptical, but one bite and I was hooked! Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a fancy gathering, this creamy avocado hummus is something you’ll want to dive into—spoon first!
Steps
- Begin by preparing your ingredients: peel and pit one avocado, drain a 15 oz. can of chickpeas, and chop half a cup of fresh cilantro and a quarter cup of red onion.
- In a food processor, combine the avocado, chickpeas, cilantro, red onion, and three peeled and smashed garlic cloves.
- Add two tablespoons of tahini (optional), one tablespoon of olive oil, the juice of one lime, one teaspoon of cumin, and a quarter teaspoon of salt.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer a thinner dip, gradually add a few tablespoons of water while blending.
- For a milder onion flavor, you can add the chopped red onion after blending instead of including it in the food processor.
