Recipe of the Week: Guacamole Hummus!

Appetizers: I’m obsessed with them. Anything portable, vegan, and lovely that comes packaged in an edible wrapper (like say this, or this, and definitely this) has my undying love. And there’s one other type of appetizer that owns a piece of my ? : Anything that can be eaten with a munchable scoop. Right?!

If you’re anything like me, you can devour guacamole or hummus faster than the Glee cast can break out into song.  So … why not combine them? *Drool*

I give you: Guacamole Hummus!

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 whole avocado, de-pitted, with the skin removed
  • 1 15.5 oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Water
  • 1 to 2 stalks green onion, chopped (optional)

Throw the chickpeas, avocado, garlic, olive oil, and salt into a blender. Add 2 tablespoons water and blend. Continue with the water/blend process until you reach the desired consistency. Transfer dip to a bowl and stir in green onion, if using. Serve with chips, crackers, or veggies.

This recipe is ridiculously easy, so get to making and eating it! It’s also great as a spread on a sandwich with some veggies and vegan deli slices—just sayin’.

Happy eating!

Marta

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
