Avocado Hummus
Description
This Avocado Hummus recipe starts with blending chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lime juice, and garlic in a food processor until smooth, forming the base of the dip. Seasoning with salt, black pepper, and cumin gives the hummus savory, earthy depth. Adding ripe avocado contributes creaminess and a mild, buttery flavor. The mixture is pulsed further to combine into a smooth, thick consistency.
The hummus is finished with a drizzle of olive oil and topped with finely chopped fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes, offering a contrast of herbaceous freshness and mild heat. The result is a versatile, creamy spread that balances the classic chickpea flavor with creamy avocado and tangy citrus notes.
This dip is well suited for serving with pita or tortilla chips, vegetable crudités, or as a sandwich spread, providing a nutritious and flavorful option. The preparation relies on common pantry ingredients with an extra fresh element from the avocado and lime.
