Healthy avocado hummus tips:

• We recommend making homemade tahini, but if you don’t have the time, you can replace with store-bought.
• Avocado hack – cut the inside of the avocado several times length wise and then several times width wise. This will make it so much easier to just scoop out the inside with a spoon rather than scooping out the avocado and then cutting it up into lots of little pieces when it is outside of its skin.
• Make sure to use fresh cilantro in this recipe for maximum flavor!
• Lemon tip – to make it easy to squeeze all of the lemon juice out of the lemon, roll the lemon along your countertop, making sure to roll all sides of the lemon, before cutting the lemon open.
• Avocado tip – to check to see if your avocado is ripe, squeeze it gently. It should yield slightly.

Once you start making your own homemade hummus, you will never need to buy store-bought again. Making your own is healthier, more delicious and less expensive and once we discovered this and began making our own, we have stopped buying hummus entirely. We served this when we had friends over recently. We served it with grainy baguette and carrot sticks for dipping. It was a hit! We love entertaining and think it’s important to have some easy recipes up your sleeve for when you host.
