simple ingredients
Just a few simple ingredients make up this avocado and cilantro hummus, it packs so much flavor in every bite. The flavor is similar to guacamole, just much creamier. The hummus is already super smooth but if you want it even smoother you can remove the outer shells off each chickpea. You simply peel the shell by rubbing each chickpea between your fingers. It is a tedious task but if you’re up for the challenge, then go for it.

how to make avocado cilantro hummus step by step

notes for success
3 minutes may seem like a long time, but it is key to getting a super smooth hummus. Let the food processer do its work. Adding ice cubes is optional but it will keep the avocado hummus nice and creamy. Removing the outer skin of the chickpeas is also optional but will help give a smoother texture. Sometimes I remove the skin, sometimes I don’t, it just depends on how ambitious I am feeling that day.
storage
You can store your avocado cilantro hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
