My Avocado Hummus puts a modern twist on the classic dip. The chickpeas and avocado come together in 5 minutes to make a wonderfully smooth dip that’s packed full of flavor. It is great for last minute guests. The subtle, buttery flavor of avocado complements the earthy chickpeas, tangy lemon, and savory garlic beautifully. It’s a familiar yet exciting flavor combination.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Perfectly Ripe Avocados 🥑
Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure—they should be creamy but not brown inside. Unripe avocados won't blend smoothly, while overripe ones can create an unappetizing gray color.
Drain and Rinse Canned Chickpeas Thoroughly 🫘
Remove excess starch and sodium by rinsing canned chickpeas under cold water for 30 seconds, which prevents a gummy texture and ensures a silky-smooth hummus consistency.
Bloom Your Garlic in Olive Oil ✨
Mince garlic finely and let it sit in a tablespoon of olive oil for 2 minutes before blending to mellow its raw bite and develop deeper, sweeter flavor notes.
Add Acid Last for Bright Flavor 🍋
Reserve lemon juice until the final blending step to prevent the avocado from oxidizing and browning, keeping your hummus vibrant green for hours longer.
Pulse Fresh Cilantro and Jalapeños Separately 🌶️
Add these ingredients in the last few pulses rather than blending from the start to maintain their bright, fresh character and prevent them from becoming bitter or overpowering.
