Avocado Hummus Recipe
Start preparing the avocado hummus by draining the chickpeas and placing them in the blender.
I peeled them to make the hummus silkier and easier to digest, but this step is optional.
Scoop the avocado flesh and add it to the blender jar together with the chickpeas.
Add one garlic clove and the cumin.
Continue with the tahini, lemon juice and half a cup of ice-cold water.
Blend everything for a couple of minutes or until you obtain a smooth and creamy sauce.
Transfer the avocado hummus to a bowl and finish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Can avocado hummus be stored?
Yes, it can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. To help keep it greener, add a drizzle of lemon juice on the surface before closing.
What is the ideal texture for avocado hummus?
It should be smooth, creamy and spreadable—perfect for using on toast, flatbreads, sandwiches or as a dip for raw vegetables and bowls.
Can I use an avocado that is not completely ripe?
It’s best to choose a well-ripened avocado: it provides the right creaminess and a sweet, delicate flavor. One that is too firm will make the hummus grainier.
