Fresh avocado hummus is simple to prepare, creamy, and a delicious change from classic hummus recipes. This hummus is a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin K along with manganese and vitamin B6.
2 avocados, large, peeled and seeded.
1 (15-oz.) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil, plus additional for garnish, optional
Salt to taste

It says to dice half the avocado…does that mean dice one and mash the other? It seems like the recipe is written for one avocado, even though the ingredients list calls for two.
Hi David, thanks for pointing that out! Yes, dice one and mash the other. Happy cooking!
Mold the mixture into a 2-cup ring mold lined with plastic wrap or waxed paper. That’s the portion size.
This recipe looks great and I would love it ~ but portion sizes are not suggested and one could gain weight EVEN ON healthy foods. Pls suggest portion sizes with calories.
