Quick + Easy Avocado Hummus

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups 1-15oz can chickpeas
  • 1 medium ripe avocado pit and skin removed
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste

garnish: extra virgin olive oil and smoked paprika or other spices

Instructions

  • To remove the skin from the chickpeas, gently 'pinch' each bean, then add them into your food processor. Discard the skins. (This step is totally optional and does not affect the taste of the hummus, though it will make it smoother).
  • Reserve a few chickpeas to garnish at the end.
  • Add in chopped avocado, lemon juice, tahini, and all of your seasonings. Blend until smooth; You might need to stop and scrape the sides of your food processor with a spatula a few times.
  • While your food processor is running, add 2-3 Tablespoons of water to thin out the hummus, until you get your desired texture.
  • Taste test, and adjust seasonings to your personal liking. I often add more garlic and lemon because those are my favorite flavors.
  • Place your hummus in a serving bowl, and garnish with remaining chickpeas, a small drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika as shown.
  • Serve with crunchy veggies and/or high quality chips.
  • Enjoy!
