Avocado Hummus

Avocado Hummus

Healthy Fact of the Day

Avocado Hummus combines the nutritional benefits of two superfoods. Chickpeas are high in protein and fiber, which promote satiety and digestive health. Avocados provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium, and vitamins K, C, and B6. This dip is also rich in tahini, a good source of calcium and healthy fats. To make it even healthier, serve with raw vegetable sticks instead of chips. This hummus is naturally gluten-free and vegan, making it suitable for various dietary needs. While nutritious, it's calorie-dense due to the avocado and olive oil content, so be mindful of portion sizes. Enjoy as part of a balanced diet, perhaps as a nutrient-packed snack or a spread on whole grain sandwiches.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp water (if needed for consistency)
  • Paprika for garnish
  • Extra olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, avocado, tahini, lime juice, and garlic.

  2. Pulse until ingredients are roughly chopped.

  3. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil.

  4. Add cumin, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth.

  5. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. Add cilantro and pulse a few times to incorporate.

  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  8. Transfer to a serving bowl.

  9. Create a small well in the center and drizzle with extra olive oil.

  10. Sprinkle with paprika for color.

  11. Serve with pita chips, vegetable sticks, or warm flatbread.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
