Tips

For an even more intense taste you can also add the grated lemon zest or, again, replace the lime with the lemon. If you want an even more fragrant avocado hummus you can also add some mint leaves. Dried chickpeas can also be used instead of precooked ones, soaking 120 grams of dried chickpeas for about 12 hours. Once this time has elapsed, cook them for about an hour or until they are tender but not overcooked, then proceed as per the recipe.Tahina is a cream based on sesame seeds, if you can't find it you can make it at home following the recipe you find in the traditional Hummus card.
