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!

KFC Is Offering Five Chicken Tenders for $5 — But Only Through June 8

Chicken tenders are one of the more protein-dense items you can order at a fast food chain, but the breading adds calories and sodium quickly. At KFC, pairing your tenders with a green beans or corn on the cob side instead of mashed potatoes or mac and cheese significantly improves the nutritional profile of the meal without giving up any of the chicken. If you’re watching sodium, skipping or going light on the dipping sauce is also an easy way to trim the overall intake — the tenders themselves have plenty of seasoning built in.

Baked Feta Pasta: How to Make the Internet’s Most Famous Recipe (And Then Make It Better)

Baked feta pasta is more balanced than it looks. Feta is actually lower in calories and fat than most hard cheeses, and the cherry tomatoes bring in a solid hit of lycopene and vitamin C. To lighten the dish further, use a whole grain or legume-based pasta — the sauce is rich enough that you won’t notice the swap. And don’t skip the fresh basil at the end — it’s not just garnish, it adds brightness that keeps the dish from feeling too heavy.
