Who likes hummus? Who likes guacamole? If you answered yes to both then I have the perfect mash-up of these two flavors all combined into one delicious dip, Avocado Lime Hummus! It might sound a little strange, but it’s actually the perfect combination.
The flavors of guacamole are what you will first notice in the hummus. Avocado, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cilantro. Then because this is a mash-up quite literally there is a can of garbanzo beans and a little olive oil to give it that thick, creamy hummus quality. The beans also add a good amount of healthy protein making this dip perfect for snacking, spreading on a sandwich or wrap, or even dolloping on top of a burrito bowl like you would with guacamole.
The Avocado Lime Hummus is not only delicious, but a quick and easy appetizer to throw together at the last minute. All of the ingredients are added to a blender or food processor and puréed until smooth, or a little less if you like your hummus on the chunkier side. I chose not to use tahini in this hummus and less olive oil because that’s how I normally make my hummus, not to mention the avocado adds plenty of healthy fat, flavor, and richness.
This hummus is gluten free, vegetarian, and a perfect option to put out at a party. Serve the hummus with tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or veggies.
You can also use the hummus as a spread on sandwiches, wraps or burgers, or toss it in with pasta and turn it into a pasta sauce!
Cheers to this healthy, mash-up hummus that everyone can enjoy!
