Here’s how I want to get part of my veggie intake for the day! It’s like guacamole and hummus in one, and it is the smoothest and creamiest hummus I’ve ever had.
If you’d like the avocado flavor to shine through more you can reduce the tahini slightly but if you want it to have more of a traditional hummus flavor leave it as it is..
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can chick peas, well drained or 1 lb dried chickpeas soaked overnight then boiled for 40 mins then drained.
- 2 medium ripe avocados , cored and peeled (13 oz before cored and peeled)
