Avocado Hummus
Description
This hummus combines canned garbanzo beans and peeled ripe avocados processed together with tahini, extra virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped cilantro, and ice-cold water. The ingredients are blended until smooth and creamy, with water added as needed to achieve a dip-like consistency.
The flavor is creamy with a hint of citrus brightness from lemon juice and herbal notes from cilantro. Salt and black pepper adjust seasoning to personal taste. Olive oil contributes a silky texture and richness.
Avocado adds freshness and creaminess to the traditional chickpea base, making it a unique variation ideal for spreads or dips. It pairs well with raw vegetables, crackers, or as a sandwich spread.
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounces) garbanzo beans canned, drained
- 2 avocado ripe, peeled, seeded, cut into big chunks
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped, about half of a bunch or less
- 2 tablespoons water iced-cold, plus more if needed
- salt to taste

Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to add extra water (one tablespoon at the time) to reach the proper consistency (creamy/dip). Adjust seasoning to taste.
