Avocado Hummus
This avocado hummus is a modern twist on plain hummus and guacamole - a healthy, vegan, easy snack or appetizer with pita or veggie chips!
Prep Time15 minutes mins
Total Time15 minutes mins
Servings: 4 servings
- 1 15 ounce can chickpeas
- 2-3 ice cubes
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 small avocados halved, pitted, and peeled
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro for more for serving
- Jalapeños sliced, for serving
- Extra virgin olive oil for serving
Place chickpeas in a bowl of water and rub them together to peel the skin (optional step, but helps create a creamy texture).
Drain the garbanzo beans and transfer them to a food processor. Blend them alone until they become powder-like, scraping down the sides as needed.
While the food processor is running, add the ice cubes, lemon juice, tahini, garlic clove and salt, and blend for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Finally, add the avocados and cilantro and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust as needed by adding more lemon juice or salt.
Spoon the hummus onto a plate or bowl, and spread the hummus with the back of a spoon. Garnish with
Drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with cilantro and jalapeño peppers, if desired. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Make sure to place plastic directly on top of the dip touching it to help slow down the browning.
Video: Please note the video uses 2 tablespoons warm water, but the recipe card uses a couple ice cubes. Either option works, but I prefer the ice cubes.
