Avocado and Hummus dip

METHOD

1. Cut avocados in two lengthwise and remove the stone, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and mash it well with a fork or in the blender, depending on what sort of texture you like.

2. Add the hummus and mix (or process) well. Serve with a drizzle of olive or avocado oil and plenty of bread and raw vegetables to dip – carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cucumber sticks, cauliflower florets.

3. You can use it instead of hummus on sandwiches and wraps.

4. For babies, gently steam some vegetables and let them dip them in the dip and feed themselves. Wholemeal bread would be a good option too for dipping.

5. I freeze my hummus in silicone muffin trays (enough for 4 sandwiches) and then transfer to a plastic bag or contained to avoid freezer burn.

VARIANTS

Blend a small handful of spinach leaves into the dip to add a bit of colour and even more nutrients. The flavours blend in very well and kids do not seem to object to eating their spinach this way!
