I discovered this recipe by accident while I was trying to make hummus without using any oil. I think I’m starting to understand the necessity of emulsifiers in cooking. After some grinding in the food processor with just garbanzo beans, lemon juice, and garlic, the mixture was dry and wasn’t creamy. The addition of water didn’t help. I had a couple of avocados out on the counter and one was just ripe. Since avocado has high fat content, I figured it would help bind the ingredients together. I threw in half of an avocado into the processor and ground the ingredients until it reached my desired consistency. I used the rest of the avocado as garnish.

Avocado Garlic Hummus

Ingredients

  • 1 Can of garbanzo beans (chick peas)
  • 1/2 Avocado
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1 Clove of garlic
  • 1/2 Cup of water
  • Salt (optional)
  • Pepper (optional)

Grind up all ingredients except the water in a food processor. If the consistency is too thick, add a small amount of water until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. Serve as dip or stuff it into a red pepper for a healthy snack.
