Avocado Hummus – This quick and creamy hummus gets a fresh twist with ripe avocado blended right in. It’s smooth, flavorful, and perfect for dipping veggies, spreading on sandwiches, or scooping with pita chips.

There’s regular hummus, and then there’s this version that I honestly can’t stop making. It’s still creamy and garlicky and super snackable—but the avocado adds this smooth, buttery texture that makes it feel a little extra (without any extra work).

 

If I’m being honest, I usually end up eating it straight from the spoon before I even get the veggies out.

I started making this when I had an avocado that was just past the point of slicing for a salad. You know that sweet spot when it’s not pretty anymore, but still perfectly good? Into the food processor it goes. Blend it up with chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, and olive oil, and you’re set. It’s quick, fresh, and just different enough to feel exciting.

It’s great for a snack board, but I’ve also used it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. It holds its own next to grilled veggies or roast chicken, and it’s a fun twist if you’ve already tried the Chocolate Hummus I’ve shared before.

This is one of those no-fuss recipes that feels like a little upgrade. Ten minutes, one bowl, and it’s ready to go.

How to Make Avocado Hummus

Hummus is super easy to work, you just need a food processor to do the work. 

1. Add ingredients to a food processor – Combine the chickpeas, avocado, garlic, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, and tahini in the bowl.
2. Blend until smooth – Process everything together until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
3. Taste and adjust if needed – Add a little more lemon juice or salt to suit your preferences.
4. Serve or store – Scoop into a bowl to enjoy right away, or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for later.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

• Rinse chickpeas well – This helps mellow the flavor and makes the final dip taste fresher.
• Scrape down the sides – Stop the food processor once or twice to make sure everything blends evenly.
• Thin it out with water or more lemon juice – If the hummus is thicker than you like, add a tablespoon at a time until it’s just right.
• Make it ahead for stronger flavor – Letting it chill for an hour before serving helps the garlic and lemon meld with the avocado.
• Add fresh herbs for variety – Try blending in cilantro, basil, or parsley for an herby twist.
