So I’ve mentioned before that plain hummus and I don’t get along.  But flavoured hummus?  That I can get behind.  I think roasted red pepper hummus is still my favourite (I need to make that again!), and this black bean hummus is amazing, but this avocado hummus?  It’s gonna be joining those two in the regular rotation now.  Pretty awesome.

You know, if you enjoy the hummus.

As always, I was the only one in my house eating this.  Which meant I ate hummus every day for a week.  It’s too bad it doesn’t freeze nicely because I always end up eating it incessantly when I make it and then I’m kind of sick of it for a while.  Any of my family or friends want half a batch next time I make it?  Let me know, because then I could make it more often, I wouldn’t have way too much every single time!

If you like avocado, lime and hummus you will enjoy this dip.  And really, how can you not like those things?  My family is seriously missing out.  This dip is creamy and full of flavour.  And, like any hummus, super quick and easy to whip up.  It does take a bit longer if you remove the skins from the chickpeas, but I would highly recommend taking the 5 minutes to do so.  It really makes for such a silky smooth hummus when you take the skins off before pureeing.

We loved this avocado hummus.  And by we, I mean me.  Because I’m the only one that ate it.  And it was amazing.

This smooth and creamy avocado hummus is a super quick and easy dip that is full of flavour, making it the perfect healthy snack!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 avocado, peeled and pit removed
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 1 540ml (19.5 fl. oz.) can chickpeas, rinsed and skins removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 2 limes, juiced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and tahini. Set aside. In the bowl of a food processor place the avocado, garlic, chickpeas, salt, and cilantro and process until combined. Add the lime juice and process again. Then as the food processor is running, drizzle in the tahini mixture and process until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Hummus will keep well in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 5-7 days.

Notes

It’s not necessary to remove the skins from the chickpeas, but removing them will make for the smoothest hummus. If a bit of texture doesn’t bother you feel free to skip that step, but for a silky smooth hummus, take 5 minutes to remove the skins - totally worth it!

I just tried beet hummus for the first time--all I can say is AAAAAAHHHHHH--mazing!!! I love avocadoes, too, and make my own guacamole. I decided to try commercial hummus mixed with my guac, and it was SO heavenly!! I don't like to mess around with making hummus, though I love to cook and bake, so using commercial doesn't bother me. I might take this recipe you posted and tweak my own recipe with it, see how that comes out. Tomorrow, though, I'm going to make a beet hummus-guacamole dip. Can hardly wait to test that one, and aw, there's only me to eat it. Hm; guess I'd better plan on another guac/hummus dinner :-) !
