Pinterest Insprired Avocado Hummus

This recipe was inspired by The Lovely Cupboard. I saw it and knew I had to try it! It is super easy and healthy.


Ingredients:

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 avocado, diced
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 Tb. olive oil (lower fat option is to use the juice from the beans)
1/2 tsp. sea salt

Directions:

1. Combine ingredients. Process with food processor, immersion blender, or blender until smooth.
2. Serve with Pretzel chips, pita chips, vegtables, etc.


Note: The original recipe called for more olive oil. I thought this made the hummus taste too much like olive oil. I would probably use the bean juice next time with a touch of olive oil.  The recipe also included cayenne, which just didn't sound appealing to me. You really could add any seasoning you like, just make sure it's in a small quantity. This really is a delicate flavored dish.
