Avocado Hummus

I made this yummy avocado hummus from Lee@Fit Foodie Finds for an afternoon snack. I was intrigued by the recipe because I'd never heard of avocado hummus, but since I am an avocado freak and love any type of hummus, I was excited to try it.

After tasting it all mixed together, I decided to add in chopped cilantro and was glad I did. It adds a little extra pop of fresh flavor. I served the hummus with Food Should Taste Good Multigrain Tortilla Chips. Those things are the bomb diggity! Perfect with this creamy avocado hummus.

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

1 can of garbanzo beans, rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 cloves of garlic

Juice from 1 lime

1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Directions

In a food processor mix together all ingredients except cilantro for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. 

You will want to stop the processor and scrape the sides a few times. 

Scoop into a serving bowl and garnish entire bowl with the cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips or raw veggies. Lee also recommends using this hummus as a sandwich spread in place of mayonnaise or spread on top of toasted bread. Yum!
