Directions
Ad the garbanzo beans, ripe avocado, and a splash of water to your blender. Toss in the sesame seeds, lime zest, and fresh lime juice next. Drizzle in the olive oil and throw in a few sprigs of rosemary for flavor. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth. If the hummus feels too thick, add a little more water and blend again until you reach your preferred creaminess. Taste and adjust the lime or seasoning if needed, then serve it up with your favorite veggies or pita chips.
How To Serve It Best
This dip pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps. It also works well as a topping for grilled chicken or fish, adding a bright, creamy element to your meal.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store the hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To keep the color fresh, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing. Stir well before serving if separation occurs.
