Avocado Hummus
Author Notes: Two of my favorite things are even better together - Yotam & Sami's Basic Hummus Recipe with the added flavor and color of a perfectly ripened Avocado and spices. I originally posted this using canned chickpeas, but remade it with the referenced hummus recipe and found a HUGE difference in flavor.
Serve as a dip with naan strips toasted with a sprinkle of olive oil, cumin and smoked paprika, or as a spread on sandwiches and crostini appetizers. So simple, yet so packed full of flavor and goodness! What's not to love? —marymary

I humbly stand corrected and am a full-blown convert: cooking your chickpeas from scratch makes such a big difference in flavor! I love my friend from the Middle East who told me she didn't think the difference makes up for the extra effort, but I respectfully disagree. I'm updating the recipe to include this hummus starter recipe I made today: https://food52.com/recipes.... AWESOME!

Note - for a milder garlic flavor, roast a head of garlic drizzled with olive oil wrapped in foil in a 425 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Add desired amount to processor.
