Lemon Avocado Hummus Recipe

This Lemon Avocado Hummus Recipe is the love child of hummus and guacamole. It makes a great sandwich spread and a yummy appetizer for social gatherings – or enjoy it as an afternoon snack with crackers and veggies!

I first posted this lemon avocado hummus recipe back in 2010, before I understood the wonders of SEO (search engine optimization) and the importance of naming recipes with things that people are actually searching for/want to eat. So I named the recipe “spinach avocado cannellini bean hummus.” Dude. That’s a mouthful, huh? And not exactly appetizing! I’ve come a long way with this little blog.

Combine a crummy name with not-so-great photos and it was time for a refresh. The recipe was awesome, but no one was finding it. So – here it is again, with some fresh photos and a more appealing name, so your guests don’t know there’s spinach in it.

If you love lemon, avocado, and hummus, you will love this recipe. It’s fast, easy, and delicious, and the protein from the beans and the healthy fat from the avocado will keep you full and satisfied.

Enjoy as a snack with veggies and/or crackers, eat by the spoonful, or spread on a sandwich! It’s also really good in a wrap with smoked salmon, broccoli slaw, and some additional greens.

However you have it, enjoy!

Here’s the recipe.
