Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned chickpeas
- 1 medium Ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the drained chickpeas, tahini, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the blender or food processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy and smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even blending.
If the mixture is too thick, add the cold water one tablespoon at a time and blend until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and extra chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or tortilla chips, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
