AVOCADO HUMMUS

By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Chickpeas ( rinsed and drained from a can or soaked and cooked)
• 1 Avocado
• small handful fresh Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh Lime Juice
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 - 2 Garlic Cloves (optional)
• Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.
Garnish with red pepper flakes (optional).
Serve with crackers, pita bread, vegetables, or use as a spread on sandwiches.
NOTES
1.) If hummus is too thick, add more water. If it is too runny, add a few more chickpeas.
2) This hummus is made without tahini. You can add tahini or sesame paste to this recipe if you like for a more "traditional" hummus flavor. Add a bit more water, lime juice, and salt to taste and texture.
