Avocado Hummus Dip

I keep thinking I like hummus even though I've never been brave enough to try it. So, I've been on the search for a hummus dip that tastes good and I have finally found it! This recipe is delish! It tastes more like a guacamole recipe than hummus dip. I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a go. I did alter the recipe from the original I found because I didn't have the ingredients and frankly, I didn't want to go to the store. How is that for lazy? :) The altered recipe was a hit, we actually took it to my sister's house for the 4th of July. It was nice to have a healthy option to munch on during the holiday!

Here's what you'll need: 

• 1 15oz can of chick peas
• 2 ripe avocados (soft enough to easily mash)
• 3 Tbs. oil olive, more for serving if desired (I used 4 Tbs. + a little water to make it creamy) 
• 3 Tbs. lime juice 
• 2 cloves pressed garlic 
• Dash of salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/4 tsp. cumin
• 1 handful of chopped cilantro 

*You can use a food processor or something similar. I thought using my Magic bullet would be a good idea and be a little easier for clean up. After finishing the recipe it might have been easier to combine everything in the food processor, but the Magic bullet seemed to work fine too.

Directions: 

1.) Pulse chick peas, olive oil, lime juice until smooth. (Suggested time is about 2 minutes in your food processor.)

2.) Pulse avocados, salt and pepper, cumin and pressed garlic.

3.) Add handful of chopped cilantro. Mix together chick peas mixture and avocado mixture, either by hand or continually add it together in your food processor.

Chill for an hour or so and serve with pita chips or corn chips! Enjoy!
