Avocado Hummus

This healthy avocado hummus with tahini is a delicious and nutritious way to change up your hummus. Gluten Free and Vegan.

We all have go-to foods that we couldn’t live without. For me, hummus is one of them.

It doesn’t matter what the flavor – roasted red pepper, pine nut, you name it – I absolutely adore hummus.

I eat it with veggies and crackers for a snack. (Lately, I have a weird obsession with carrot chips.)

I put it on wraps and sandwiches.

I’ve even been known to add a dollop or two to a salad to add in some protein and healthy fats.

You know another food I adore? Avocados.

I am obsessed.

Seriously.

Very few days go by without me eating at least 1/2 of an avocado.

Today’s recipe combines two of my favorites into one incredible dip.

Allow me to introduce you to your new snacking BFF: Avocado Hummus.

If You have never made hummus at home before – don’t worry. It is so simple even my boys can make it.

This healthy dip comes together in a matter of minutes, and is so delicious! With cilantro, garlic and a hint of kick from chipotle chili powder, this hummus recipe will become a regular in your snacking rotation.

Make sure you don’t skimp on the lemon juice as that is what will keep the dip from browning. I also recommend storing this with plastic wrap directly on the hummus the same way that you would guacamole.  That is, if there is any left to store.

What are foods that you couldn’t live without?
