Notes
Use a fully ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.For extra smooth hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending.Add smoked paprika or chili powder for subtle warmth.Greek yogurt can be blended in for added tanginess (not vegan).Best enjoyed fresh due to the avocado’s natural browning.Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before refrigerating to reduce discoloration.
