Creamy Avocado Hummus Dip whipped up easily in the food processor and topped with everything bagel dukkah. Just add crackers, chips, or veggies! Gluten-free, vegan.
There is nothing quite like having a plethora of gluten-free snacks on hand. While guacamole and hummus are my top two healthy dips to reach for, I thought combining the major aspects of both could be delicious.
And delicious it is. Plus, I've added an optional everything bagel dukkah for garnish!

Ingredients and substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Avocado - Rich in fiber, unsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, ripe avocados add flavor and creaminess.
Canned chickpeas - A great source of plant-based protein and the base of our homemade hummus. In just one can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), there are 17.8 grams of protein.
Tahini - Also known as sesame seed paste, this adds a rich, nutty taste, and depth of flavor, and helps create a creamy dip.
Garlic - Fresh garlic cloves, minced, add a wonderful savory flavor.
Lime juice - Fresh lime juice brightens up our chickpea mixture. Fresh lemon juice can be substituted in a pinch!
Olive oil - Full of healthy fats, I recommend using extra virgin olive oil for its rich flavor. But any type will do. It creates a smooth and creamy texture.
Coriander, cayenne powder, onion powder - These spices help blend the fresh avocado flavor and chickpeas.
For the optional dukkah:
- Almonds
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Dried minced onion
- Dried minced garlic
Step-by-step instructions
- Add all hummus ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth and desired consistency is achieved.
- Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with additional olive oil and sprinkle with everything bagel dukkah if desired.
- To make the dukkah, combine all dukkah ingredients in a small bowl. Stir to incorporate thoroughly. Sprinkle on top of avocado hummus. Store extra in an airtight container.
Helpful tips
The addition of avocado means any leftovers will brown. To avoid our recipe from browning, press a piece of plastic wrap to the top of the hummus before storing it in the refrigerator. This will not allow air to cause it to brown.
Serving suggestions
To garnish, use fresh cilantro or fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil on top of the creamy spread. Now for how to serve hummus:
- Fresh veggies (carrots, celery, radishes, peppers)
- Oat crackers
- Gluten-free pita bread or pita chips
- Socca chips
Or use it as a sandwich spread!
FAQ
Dukkah is a condiment made up of nuts, spices, and seeds. It is often used as a dip with bread and olive oil, so it makes for a great garnish atop hummus and other dips.
Avocado hummus combines the health benefits of avocados and hummus ingredients, creating a nutrient-dense dip. It offers a good balance of healthy fats, fiber, plant-based protein, vitamins, and minerals.
