Ever so creamy, melt-in-your-mouth avocado hummus by Rainbow Nourishments.
This hummus gets its creaminess simply from cooking the chickpeas for an 10 extra minutes and by combining it with a ripe, buttery-smooth GreenSkin® GMax® Avocado. The best part is that it will stay a gorgeous green colour for hours thanks to this predictably perfect green skin variety not turning brown when cut!

Method
- Optional: Bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil. Add the chickpeas and baking soda. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the chickpeas are very soft and falling apart.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas well. Add the chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend until as smooth as possible. Add extra olive oil or water to thin out the hummus if desired.
- Scoop the hummus into a serving dish. Decorate as desired and serve!
Note: you may use dried chickpeas if you soak them in water the night before and cook them until they’re extremely soft.
