Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • Use ripe avocados: They should be soft to the touch but not mushy. Overripe avocados can make the hummus too bitter.
  • Make it ahead: This dip is best served fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to reduce browning.
  • Customize the heat: Like it mild? Skip the cayenne. Love spice? Add more!
  • No tahini? Try substituting with plain Greek yogurt or a bit of sunflower seed butter for a different but still creamy result.
  • Zest it up: Add a bit of lime zest for even more citrus punch.
