Ingredients
Hummus Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas (about 400g), drained
- 1 medium-sized avocado
- 1 cup cilantro (about 25 grams), fresh
- 1 clove garlic
- Juice of 1 lime
- 3–4 tablespoons oil (olive oil recommended)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Chickpeas: Drain the water from 1 can of chickpeas. For a smoother texture, optionally remove the skins from the chickpeas; otherwise, leave them on for a chunkier hummus.
- Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and oil. Blend for several minutes until the mixture reaches a creamy, smooth consistency and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Season: Taste your avocado hummus, then add salt and pepper according to your preference. Blend briefly again if needed to mix seasoning evenly.
- Serve: Serve your avocado hummus with pita bread, fresh cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, nuts, and marinated vegan mozzarella for a complete and tasty snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Removing chickpea skins will result in a smoother hummus but is optional.
- Adjust oil quantity to achieve your desired consistency and flavor.
- This hummus keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days; the avocado may oxidize slightly, so storing with a little lime juice helps prevent browning.
- Feel free to substitute cilantro with parsley or add spices like cumin for variation.
