Healthy Avocado Hummus whipped up easily in the food processor and topped with everything bagel dukkah. Just add crackers, chips, or veggies! Gluten-free, vegan.

It’s chips and dip season, you guys.

While you already know I’m a fan of the baked goods, when the weather gets warm and there are outside gatherings to be had, there is nothing quite like having a plethora of snacks around.

While guacamole and hummus are my top two healthy dips to reach for, I thought combining aspects of both could be delicious.

And delicious it is.

Avocado Hummus Ingredients

As with most easy hummus recipes, the ingredients are simple and the prep time is minimal. Throw the following ingredients in the bowl of a food processor, and you’ll have nutrient-rich hummus in no time. Here’s what you’ll need:

1 avocado
1 can of chickpeas
tahini
3 limes
olive oil
minced garlic
onion powder
ground coriander
cayenne pepper
salt and pepper

Everything Bagel Dukkah

To jazz up this avocado hummus recipe, dukkah makes a perfect compliment. It adds a salty, flavorful crunch to balance the creamy plant-based dip.

Dukkah is condiment made up of nuts, spices, and seeds. Used often as a dip with bread and olive oil, it makes for a great garnish atop hummus and other dips.

I went for an “everything bagel” flavored dukkah as it works well with the cool and creamy avocado in this hummus recipe. You can chop your raw almonds called for in the recipe by hand or blitz them in a food processor for ease.

If you are looking for other fast and easy snack and appetizer recipes, Kristen’s bacon wrapped dates should be added to your list! Or, my friend Kathryne’s fresh pineapple salsa would make a great addition to a picnic or cookout.
