Avocado Hummus Dip
If you love guacamole then this avocado hummus dip should be calling your name! It’s similar to guacamole but made with avocado and garbanzo beans( which are organic chickpeas). I love that the texture is ultra creamy! Then, when you mix in the lime juice and the cilantro, it takes it to the next level with a fresh taste. You will want to dip everything and anything in it. And the best part is that you can!
I have used this dip as an appetizer and just for an after-school snack for my kids! It works with just about anything, which is another reason why I love it. It’s not only delicious but super versatile. Whip this up and dip in some veggies and crackers or even pita chips, and you have yourself a super healthy snack! Fair warning, though: once you stop, you won’t be able to stop!
Ingredients in Avocado Hummus Dip
Gather up these ingredients as soon as possible because you don’t want to miss out on this avocado hummus! See the (printable) recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
- Garbanzo beans: Drain your beans before mixing them in.

- Water: This is used to help your hummus reach the desired consistency. Use more water for a thinner hummus.
- Olive oil: This will be used in the hummus and also as a garnish on top.
