This vibrant green hummus recipe couldn't be easier--just toss a few ingredients in the food processor and whir away! Aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) and avocado make this healthy dip extra smooth and creamy. Serve with veggie chips, pita chips or crudités.

WOW! I really like this recipe. I had a roasted avocado to add and I would remove the charred areas next time. This is so good with raw veggies. Read More

This is great!! I love hummus and avocado so what a great blend. I did not add salt as my multigrain pita chips has enough sodium. I highly recommend!!! Read More

Yummmmyyy! Love this and the avocado just makes it the best hummus. I didn't have any coriander so I substituted it with parsley (same family) and also was out of cumin so added a fresh chilli and it was lovely. Tasty fresh easy starter for guests. I used organic veg crudities - red peppers celery and colourful carrots. Read More
