Ingredients

Instructions

Notes

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.
Freezing: I've never frozen my avocado hummus because there's so many ways to enjoy it fresh! But you can freeze hummus and you can freeze guacamole, so putting them together definitely makes them freezer safe. Just make sure not to fill the container all the way to the top because it will expand as it freezes.
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.
