Ingredients and substitutions

  • Chickpeas –  use canned chickpeas that have been rinsed and drained for an easier assembly process.
  • Tahini – cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or another nut butter can work in place of tahini.
  • Avocado
  • Garlic – use fresh or jarred minced garlic. Garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • Lemon juice – use fresh or bottled lemon juice for this recipe.
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Water
  • Antipasto – the antipasto will be used as a garnish and is optional. Sun-dried tomatoes can also be used.
  • Veggie sticks – use any veggies of your choice, such as carrots, cucumbers, celery or bell peppers.
  • Crackers – chips can also be used to dip into the avocado hummus.

What to eat with hummus

This avocado hummus is a delicious snack on its own or as an accompaniment to so many recipes! If you are looking to make the most of this hummus recipe, here are a few ways to serve this dish:

  • Serve hummus as a dip with veggies (cucumbers, carrots, celery, etc.)
  • Serve as a dip with pita chips, crackers and naan crisps
  • Use the avocado hummus as a spread in sandwiches
  • If you want a plant-based pasta sauce, this avocado hummus is a great way of creating a non-dairy cream sauce
  • Serve the hummus as a topping for buddha bowls and other meal prep bowls

Storing instructions

To store any leftover hummus, transfer it to an airtight container. I suggest mason jars to keep the avocado in this hummus fresh longer.

When storing, you can store with the antipasto or sun-dried tomatoes that you’ve added on top or add them to the top when ready to enjoy. Squeeze some extra lemon juice on top or cover the hummus with plastic wrap before closing the container to keep the avocado from browning.

After storing, your hummus will last in the fridge for up to one week! It may lose its vibrant colour from the oxidizing avocado but it is still okay to eat for the week.

Can you freeze avocado hummus?

Yes! You can definitely freeze the avocado hummus for later. To freeze, transfer Avocado Hummus to an airtight container. Leave some room at the top so it has room to expand over time. I recommend storing them in multiple mason jars like I have pictured, rather than one large container. Before freezing, layer a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the avocado hummus and freeze for up to 3 months.

If freezing, don't top the hummus with the antipasto or sundried tomatoes.

When ready to enjoy, place the avocado hummus into the fridge to thaw overnight. If it hasn't thawed fully, wait until it has thawed completely. Once it has thawed completely, top with desired toppings then serve and enjoy!

    This hummus looks incredible!

    I’m so with you about Vitamix. It’s completely changed the way I cook and has opened up many new possibilities for me in the kitchen. I don’t know what I’d do without mine!

    I love the mini-jars too, Taylor. So cute and so easy to serve. I think people like their own dipping bowl. How perfect these are for watching sports and cheering on our favourite hockey teams. Love your flavour combo!

    I love the idea of everyone having their own snack jar. I admit to using paper plates at parties, which is a waste. I have a ton of mason jars( from my canning obsession) at the ready at all times. I’ll definitely put them to use at parties.
