As we continue our love affair with Avocados we’re diving head first into this Avocado Cilantro Hummus plus bringing you a 101 post on how to make the most delicious vegetarian wraps! Ready… bring it!
On my quest to make your life easier, and to easy everyone into the back to school swing, I’ve got an Avocado Cilantro Hummus. It’s one of my favorite appetizers and it’s like guacamole meets hummus. I mean, what more could one person really ask for?
Avocado Cilantro Hummus
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 15 ounces garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 jalapeño seeded
- 4 teaspoons tahini sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin and place the avocado flesh into a food processor bowl.
- Add the garbanzo beans, cilantro, olive oil, jalapeño, tahini, lemon juice and salt to the food processor bowl. Process the ingredients for about 10-15 seconds until the mixture is smooth. Remove lid to taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days, or serve immediately as part of a sandwich or wrap.
i’m a sucker for pretty much any kind of dip, but this sounds amazing! any recipe that allows me to eat more chips and dip is right up my alley 🙂
Good morning beautiful dip! Love the combination of the two, (never would have thought of that!) it looks fabulous!
This is a genius idea! Can’t wait to try it!
Guacamumus – I seriously think you could market that. I could eat this all day!
Love this! HUGE fan of cilantro, avocados & hummus!
Great variation from the traditional hummus
Hummus and avocado are two things I always like to keep around – what a perfect sounding combo!! yum!
What a great combination of flavors!
So doing this. And then diving in head first and eating my way out.
this is epic.
Have never made my own hummus, but this is inspiring, so I think it is time!
mmm – a wrap with this does sound good! and i love the color.
What a great idea. I bet the texture is perfect. Might you be making a batch sooooooooon?
A combo of 3 of my all time favorite things……hummus, cilantro & guac. LOVE!
I will definitely have to make this! I love avocado and cilantro, wouldn’t have thought of using them for a hummus!
Avohummus! My favorite. I’m with you on hummus – I could eat it all day.
This sounds beyond yummy. Love it!
Oh girl, this looks SO GOOD. Come over and make it with me!
Yes! This is one my favorite riffs on hummus!
I’m a bit obssesed with avocado. I have never tried, or thought of, making avocado humus. This sounds amazing!
This looks fantastic! Does anybody know if this keeps well in the fridge? I’m wondering if it will turn an icky brown color because of the avacado?
Hi Beth, It should keep well in the fridge for a few days! The lemon juice will help keep its color 🙂
I made this last night for my housewarming! Yuuuummmmy yum yum! It was so creamy and avocado-ey, and the cilantro gave it such a bright flavor. I stuck they leftover in the fridge to take it to work today and it stayed the same color too. 🙂 Oh this would be so good in a sandwich too…
This website is pure awesomness!!! The best thing is that the recipes are really simple and fast, but unique. I absolutely love the fish and the avocado section, and I want to try to make hummus! Greetings from Germany
This sounds great. I might have to go out and buy the ingredients right now
im with you on this i could eat hummus by the buckets! if i could i totally would. im so excited to make it!!!!!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmmmm yummy
This could be the adult version of peanut butter and jelly !
Genius!! I’m ALL over this! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this creation (*)>
There’s a lot of snacking that goes on here…the guys come in from working on our avocado ranch and sit down to talk over the next project…and food has to be available. Guacamole is often the snack of choice, but we go through huge quantities of hummus as well. What a great idea to combine the two! I’ll feature your post on our Facebook page today, Gaby. Thank you!
I love avocados, and this looks like such a fun spin on hummus. Yum!
We’ve recently discovered a love of hummus and you know I love avocados 🙂 Can’t wait to dive into some of this! Perhaps for our first big football weekend!
Two of my favorite things in one! I love this so much!!
Literally the perfect hummus! Gorgeous photos too! xo
I just made this cause I thought its creative and useful,, however, it definitely needed a boost of flavor, so I added 2 garlic cloves, and probably juice of two lemons and more salt and pepper. turned out lovely! thanks for the inspiration gabby 🙂
Hi Gaby.
The ingredients list calls for 1/2 cup avocado oil, the instructions olive oil. Can I use either? Please clarify. Also, where do I get a Peruvian avocado? Will a Mexican one work?
Thanks for all you do! You’re awesome!!
Rick
Hey Rick!! Just update the recipe so it’s all easy to follow now 🙂 xx
This stuff is so yummy! Thank you
I had some very ripe avocados and was looking for a new way to use them. Luckily I had all of the ingredients in my fridge and just whipped this up. It was soooooo delicious!! Didn’t last long…
I am obsessed with this hummus. We make it weekly now and it never disappoints. What else can you say that about??? Thanks Gaby!
Very nice! Took as appetizer for family who doesn’t eat onions or garlic, which humus recipes usually call. Served with veggies and a few tostado chips. Made it according to recipe and next time I will add more cilantro, salt/pepper and spices. I also took the outer skin off the garbanzo beans because it makes it creamier (optional). Enjoy!
