This mint and avocado hummus recipe is creamy, fresh and full of flavor. Perfect served on crusty homemade bread.
Hummus, hoummus, hummous or hoummous? However you spell it (FYI – my spellchecker recognises precisely none of these), I have no shame in admitting that I’m addicted.
Even as I was growing up, hummus was a firm favorite of mine and we’d often have hummus and toasted pita bread for evening supper.
I’ll never tire of a classic hummus, the combination of chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic and seasoning, but one thing I’ve come to love about hummus over the years is how well it lends itself to almost any flavor variation. What’s your favorite type of hummus?
This mint and avocado hummus recipe still has most of the traditional ingredients in (though it is oil free), but is extra creamy due to the avocado and gains a hint of added freshness from the mint.
This mint and avocado recipe was born to be made alongside my no-knead bread with sweet potato and pine nuts, but it would be perfect served in abundance with any crusty bread.
