Рецепт Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day: Avocado Hummus
Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day: Avocado Hummus
I have been MIA from Secret Recipe Club for a few months now
because of school and the obvious time restraints that come with it. This
semester has been a nightmare but its summer so what better way to celebrate
than hopping back on the Secret
Recipe Club express.
I am so excited to be working in Asiya’s kitchen this month
over at Chocolate & Chilies. Working in her kitchen couldn’t have come at a
better time because she had a recipe that I have been wanting to try for a long
time… Avocado
Hummus. I love avocados and I love hummus… why not put them all
together? I realize now two weeks later after making this recipe that the original recipe was a secret recipe club recipe that Asiya had already made! Ugh! I apologize!! I honestly didn't realize it!!
Hummus is one of those things I can eat until I pop! Not only
is it good for you but it’s great on baby carrots… my personal favorite way to
eat hummus. I needed something to take to a pot-luck picnic a few weekends ago
and I knew this recipe would be perfect. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like
some sort of hummus and although I know not everyone likes avocado my thought
was… more for me! ;-)
Not only was it a fantastic weekend for a picnic but it was
a fantastic event for hummus. All of the food ended up being finger food, like
mini sandwiches, cheese, wine, dips, chips and so on. The hummus fit in
perfectly! You could say it was a huge hit because there wasn’t a drop left! Bummer!
So how do you remedy an empty bowl of Avocado Hummus? You make
MORE!! … And so I did!
I love this recipe! I have already made it several times
because it’s a great snack to have on hand and it’s much better than most
snacks I would normally choose. I love the health aspect, the flavor, of course
the color, and I love that it doesn’t turn funky in the refrigerator overnight
like just a plain avocado would do.
This is a great way to use up left over avocado to prevent it
from getting nasty. There is enough lemon in this recipe to keep the colors
nice and fresh that gets bonus points with me!
Thank you Asiya for allowing Colie’s Kitchen to take over
your kitchen this month!! It was truly a pleasure to work with Chocolate &
Chilies!
