Are
you looking for a quick tasty weeknight meal, or how about a snack, or maybe
something to take to a party? Well I have the recipe for you, Avocado Hummus,
it is perfect for all those occasions.
The
avocado adds a nice creamy richness to your average old hummus.
It
is perfect, I loved it!
What
you need,
2
cloves garlic, minced
1
can (15oz) chick peas, drained and rinsed
1
lemon, juice and zest
2
tbsp. tahini
2
avocados
Salt
and pepper
Olive
oil
Paprika
for garnish
Put
the garlic cloves, chick peas, lemon zest and juice and the tahini in a food
processor. Blend until smooth. Drizzle in 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to
get a good creamy consistency. Add in the 2 avocados and blend until just smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
with a tablespoon of olive oil drizzled on top and a sprinkle of paprika.
Serve
with warmed pita or chips or veggies.
I
have a secret for you, if you don’t have any tahini, you can sub in peanut
butter. I know you are thinking this chick is nuts, but for real, peanut butter
works. I use about half the amount of peanut butter that the recipe calls for.
I thought I had tahini when I made this recipe but low and behold I was out, so
I subbed in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for the 2 tablespoons of tahini. It
tasted wonderful. It adds the same nuttiness you get from tahini.
So
there you have it, a perfect dip that would be great anytime, anywhere!

I love hummus but haven't tried it with avocados. Definitely going to have to try this!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I usually put feta in my hummus, but I love avocados, so I will definitely have to try this! Cool idea!
DeleteI wish I'd know about the PB trick before buying tahini. When am I ever going to use up all this tahini? I like the idea of adding avocado to the hummus. I bet it was really creamy!
