Avocado Hummus

[heart_this] · Jun 10, 2015 · 15 Comments

Avocado Hummus

An addictively good homemade creamy chickpea avocado hummus that is ready in less than 10 minutes!

Hummus has to be one of my favourite foods! I mean, in addition to being super easy to make, it’s so nice and light, creamy, tasty and plain old addictively good! As much as I’m into basic hummus it’s also fun to mix in other flavours and since avocados have been on my mind lately it was only natural to try an an avocado hummus. This recipe is just as easy to make as plain hummus where you just throw all of the ingredients, with the addition of avocados, into the food processor and puree! It’s hard to believe that hummus could get any creamier but the avocados make it so and the flavour it to die for! Get your pita chips ready for dipping because avocados take hummus to a whole new level!

    The avocado emulsifies the chick peas and makes the whole dish more unguent. I add an additional cup of chopped (very fine) parsely and green onion tops. This makes the hommus greener and tastier healthier!

    PERFECT – Well almost. Can I add a clove of garlic to kick it up a notch?

    This sounds great can't wait to make this weekend…if there are any leftovers, how long do you think will last in refrigerator…3 days?

    rancholyn: It should last 2-3 days in the refrigerator. The avocado will want to start to brown where it touches the air so try to minimize the surface area by using a taller container rather than a wider one and you can place a tablespoon of lemon juice on the top to help keep it green longer. Enjoy!

    That's a great idea, I always wanted to make hummus and already have the ingredients (I want to use dried chickpeas I cooked yesterday) and also love avocado – there is usually one waiting in my kitchen. I also has such a great color – btw – is it really a green like that, my avocados always are rather pea green not mint green
