avocado cilantro hummus

I hate to waste food, and I hate following recipes. Most of my creations happen by combining various odds and ends until they taste good. Last night, I made the crispy baked falafel and needed a dip. Hummus is the obvious answer, but I only had half a can of chickpeas. Tahini is key to creamy hummus, and I was out. I found an avocado on its last legs; its fat content making it a suitable stand-in for smoothness. I also had a bunch of cilantro about to go bad. Thus, avocado cilantro hummus was born.

I doubled the amounts to make it easier for you, but as long as your combine these flavors, you'll be on the right track.

ingredients:

1 can of chickpeas, drained (save that aquafaba) & rinsed (can sub edamame)

1 avocado

1/2 cup cilantro (leaves, chopped stems, whatever) (can sub basil, parsley, mint)

juice of 1 lemon

zest of 1/2 lemon

1-2 cloves of garlic

flaky salt to taste

prep:

1. blend in a food processor

2. add water 1 tbsp at a time if struggling to blend

3. eat with falafel, Siete chips, raw veggies
