Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add chickpeas, avocado, cilantro, garlic, hot sauce (if using), salt, cumin and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor.
  • Begin processing on low speed.
  • While processing, slowly add 3 tablespoons of olive oil through the feed tube of the food processor.
  • Switch to high speed and process until smooth and creamy and no chunks remain. You may have to stop to scrape down the sides and continue processing. Add more olive oil if necessary.

Notes

Store hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
*If you don't want any heat, omit the hot sauce. You can try adding ⅛-1/4 teaspoon paprika instead.
If you want a kick but you don't have or don't want to use hot sauce, try adding a bit of cayenne pepper. I suggest trying it with ¼ teaspoon.
