This avocado hummus recipe packs a lot of flavor into a dip we can all get behind! The lovely mint green color and creamy avocado flavor combines all the things we love about hummus and guacamole into one surprisingly easy and delicious dish. If you’re on keto, make sure you keep an eye on the serving size if you’re going to have it with a carb like pita chips. This way it doesn’t throw you off your weight and fitness goals. Unlike most hummus recipes, this avocado hummus replaces chickpeas completely with just avocado, blended smooth in the food processor and garnished with pine nuts and cilantro. Feel free to give this king of healthy recipes a squeeze of lime juice, and if you want to add a spicy kick, put in a pinch of red pepper for color and flavor.

 

The great thing about this particular recipe is that it can be used as a sauce for a lot of other dishes. Drizzle it on chicken breast or smear it on a sandwich. You can even thin it out into a creamy avocado dressing, or as a topping for tacos and burritos. Be aware that due to oxidation, it may discolor, so you’ll want to treat it as you would guacamole by providing an airtight seal to the top if you’re planning to store it in the fridge, It will remain good for about 3 days, but you shouldn’t store it for too long due to the high oil and fat content.
