You won’t find a lot of avocado recipes here; that’s because I don’t eat that much avocado anymore…
This wasn’t always so; a long time ago, I ate so much avocado I got sick, then I couldn’t even look at an avocado without wanting to throw up.
The thing that gets me the most is avocado toast; it’s everywhere, looking delicious and tempting but I don’t want to get into them lest I overdo it.
I eat the odd avocado every once in a while, and this is one of my favourite ways to get my fix – in this quick and way avocado hummus. It’s great stuff indeed, fresh, delicious, simple and so easy, it comes together in under fifteen minutes.
The buttery wholesomeness of avocados brings a layer of creaminess, and a rich flavour to the hummus.
