What this avocado hummus tastes like
The recipe as written tastes like a cross between guacamole and hummus. The guac half coming from the avocado and coriander/cilantro, and the hummus half coming from the chickpeas and tahini.
However very often, I exploit yoghurt as an alternative of tahini which takes the hummus edge off barely, which is why I’ve generically known as this an Avocado Dip somewhat than Avocado Hummus.
Additionally, it’s really easy to adapt to your style with slight variations. Pass over the coriander and it tastes much less like Guac. Skip the chickpeas utterly and use yoghurt, and you’ve got a stronger avocado flavour.
For a kick of spice, attempt including jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne. Attempt including a can of inexperienced chillies, use lime as an alternative of lemon. So truly, the one necessary ingredient in that is… avocado. 🥑🥑🥑 😂 – Johnsat x

Notes
1. Flavour adjustments: To make it less hummus-y, skip the tahini and use yoghurt instead. To make it even less hummus-y, use less chickpeas – or skip it completely and use a bit more yoghurt.
To make it less guacamole-like and more hummusy, skip the coriander and definitely use the tahini.
Try adding jalapeño or cayenne for spiciness, and canned green chillies for a touch of smokiness.
2. STORAGE: Picked up the most AMAZING TIP EVER from this Make Ahead Guacamole from my friend Claire over at Sprinkles and Sprouts. Put in an airtight container, smooth top and cover with thin layer of water. Avo is so dense, the water doesn’t get absorbed at all. Your dip will stay beautifully green for 3 whole days!!!
