Avocado Hummus

Al made this delicious and pretty avocado hummus for us, and of course I have to share!

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 oz.) can no-salt chickpeas
• 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 t. ground cumin
• 1/2 t. salt

Directions:

Drain the chickpeas reserving 2 T. of the liquid. Transfer the chickpeas and the reserved liquid to a food processor. Add avocado, cilantro, tahini, oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin and salt. Puree until very smooth. Serve with veggie chips, pita chips or crudités. 

Al's note:  For the hummus I used more of the juice from the canned chickpeas To thin it out a little, and topped with more olive oil.
