    Tips for making Avocado Hummus:

    • Whenever I do not have chickpeas / garbanzo beans on hand, I use white beans, pinto beans or red lentils instead for similar results.

    • Do not have cilantro on hand? Fresh parsley works in a pinch. The flavor will be different, but still delicious!

    • The lemon juice can be replaced with apple cider vinegar, if need be.

    • Want a bit more of a flavor punch, or are you a major garlic fan like myself? Throw in a few more cloves for a richer hummus.

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin can be used in place of cumin seeds.

    • This is a versatile recipe! This easy hummus can be used as a dip, a spread, a salad dressing, a pasta sauce + more!

    • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    And, can I just add that this dip is divine alongside some cassava or plantain chips? Why, yes it is. Whether you're in need of the perfect appetizer for entertaining or would rather indulge all on your own, I know you'll love this flavorful and fun hummus just as much as we do!

    Enjoy. xo.
