Chef Notes
- Avocado’s natural creaminess adds an extra layer of smoothness to the hummus, making it silkier without the need for additional oils.
- The avocado gives the hummus a beautiful green hue which is striking and fresh.
- Avocados add healthy fats, boosting the nutritional value and serving as an alternative to more traditional fat sources.
- The mild, creamy flavour of avocado complements the earthiness of chickpeas and tahini.
- Modern twist on a classic dish, perfect for any cafe or restaurant menu.
