Avocado Hummus Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 3 tablespoons of tahini
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for extra flavor)
- 2-3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin (optional for an extra layer of flavor)
- Water or reserved chickpea liquid, if needed for consistency
- Paprika and additional olive oil, for garnish
How To Make Avocado Hummus
Rinse and drain the chickpeas. If you have time, you can remove the skins for a smoother texture, but this is optional.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and place it in your food processor or blender.
Add the chickpeas, avocado, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cilantro (if using), and cumin to the food processor or blender.
Blend the mixture until it starts to come together. While blending, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you achieve a creamy consistency. If the hummus is too thick, you can add water or some of the reserved chickpea liquid, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired texture.
Taste the hummus and season with salt and pepper accordingly. Blend once more to incorporate the seasoning.
Transfer the hummus to a white serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a swirl pattern on top if you wish. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with paprika for color and flavor.
Optionally, you can garnish with a few whole chickpeas, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, or a few slices of avocado.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh veggies like carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers, or use as a spread in sandwiches.
Tips & Tricks
- For the best flavor, use very ripe avocados. They blend smoother and provide a richer taste.
- If preparing in advance, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the hummus to prevent oxidation (browning) and keep it in the refrigerator until serving time.
