This Avocado Hummus recipe is like guacamole and hummus in one, and it is the smoothest and creamiest hummus recipe I’ve ever made! And the flavor unbelievably delicious! Perfect for pita chips and veggies, or use it as a spread on your favorite deli style turkey or veggie sandwich.

This easy avocado hummus dip is the perfect snack any day any time! Who could resist?

Snacky? Think Avocado Hummus!

Here’s how I want to get part of my veggie intake for the day! My whole family loved this hummus recipe, kids included (and that’s saying something, I hated hummus when I was a kid).

This homemade hummus can be made in under 10 minutes and it makes for the perfect midday snack. If you make it to take to a party, you likely will be coming home without a drop left.

So Delicious, AND Healthy!

This is the best hummus recipe, I seriously could not stop eating it and I didn’t have to feel guilty since it’s a healthy dip. This definitely beats having potato chips dipped in a mayo loaded ranch dip for an afternoon snack, or that candy bar we like to reach for when we think we are too hungry to wait for dinner.

You might just find yourself craving this avocado hummus just as much as guacamole and tortilla chips.

Hummus Recipe Adjustments

If you’d like the avocado flavor to shine through more in this hummus recipe you can reduce the tahini slightly, but if you want it to have more of a traditional hummus flavor leave it as it is.

I did add the cilantro to mine, I just left it off for the pictures so you could see what the hummus looked like better (just in case you were wondering).

    Wow…this avocado hummus is incredible and yummy! Is it gluten-free? Avocado rich in several B vitamins and vitamin K, with good content of vitamin C, vitamin E and potassium. That’s why i prefer avocado:) Thx for sharing!

    I found this site and feeling amazed, wow.! I love avocado so i will definitely make like this tomorrow at home… Thank you so much. I often make hummus as appetizers, i learned it from my friend chef. But never mix with avocado. I guess my little family might like this new hummus. Xd…

      The plain hummus can store in refrigerator at least three days. PS. In the restaurant we use blender but do not drained the chick peas water leave 1/4 so it won’t get thick. FOR ME I LOVE THIS.

  • JC Allen

    Served this to family of Christmas holidays and NO ONE liked it at all!!! It was flavorless and thick! YUK

    I stay in Mumbai, india.we have humid and hot temperature all the time . Even in a fridge things get spoiled very soon. So can you tell me how many days in a fridge I can keep this yummy hummus??

      Here in the U.S. even it doesn’t really keep more than a few days just because of the avocado. What you could do though is make the full amount without the avocado then add avocado to half and save the other half in the fridge and add avocado later on. Kind of a hassle but better than waisting it. Hope you enjoy Jagruti!

    Oh my gosh! Just made it! It’s fantastic. I was wondering if the avocados would discolor it over night? I’m making a double batch for 2 parties. Thx

    Creamy & Delicious!
    This is my go to snack. It literally takes 5 minutes to whip together and It’s so delicious! Everyone that has tried it when they were here has asked for the recipe. I made a batch up for my daughter to take home, at her request, when she stopped by last week with our grandchildren. She is pregnant and always very particular about what she and the children eat. This is always perfect!!!Thank you so much for sharing it!
