    Avocado Hummus Dip. The name speaks for itself. With those two ingredients together, you can’t go wrong—this is a great new twist on guacamole or hummus. The mash-up of the two is great with crackers, pitas, chips, or as a sandwich spread. The texture is creamy, and the taste is fantastic.

    I love hummus. Give me a spoon and 10 minutes- I will demolish a whole bowl. Chickpeas are a great protein-packed legume that is an excellent fiber, vitamins, and minerals source. So is it cheaper to make your hummus, but you control the quality of ingredients that go into it. So, there are no weird preservatives or fillers in your dip.

    What You’ll Need:

    Avocado Hummus Dip Ingrediants

  1. Part 1

    • 1 can of chickpeas drained
    • 1 avocado

    • 2 cloves of garlic

    • salt to taste
    • a sprinkle with cayenne pepper
    • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

  2. Part 2 – Optional Topping

    In a small bowl, combine:
