Ingredients
Avocado Hummus:
- 1 chickpeas 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed
- ¼ cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or more to taste, fresh
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 avocado sliced, medium or large ripe
- Pinch ground cumin optional, or cayenne pepper
- salt to taste, sea salt or other coarse salt
Salad:
- 1 cup vegetables I used beets, carrots, and fennel, shredded
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh; + 2 teaspoons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup quinoa cooked
- 1-2 tablespoons avocado hummus
- 1-2 tablespoons kalamata olives sliced
- 2 cups leafy greens your choice
- ¼ cup nuts
- ¼ cup seeds
Instructions
Make the hummus:
- Place the chickpeas into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Pulse several times to begin pureeing. Add the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Pulse again until almost smooth. Next add the avocado. Pulse until completely smooth. Add cumin or cayenne pepper, if desired, and blend. Taste, season with salt, and add additional lemon juice if desired. Puree again until blended.
- Transfer to an airtight container and drizzle with olive oil to help prevent browning. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the salad:
- Add the shredded veggies to a medium bowl and drizzle with 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Toss to mix. Set aside.
- Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and quinoa to the jar. Top with veggies, then add avocado hummus, olives, greens, and nuts/seeds in layers.
- Top with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate until ready to eat. The salad can be made the night before, and it will keep for several days in the fridge.
Notes
- *Can substitute the 1 tablespoon lemon juice with vinegar if desired.
