A great way to liven up your day is by dipping into a great snack. Hummus is incredibly easy to make, especially if you have a food processor, and this version made with avocado is creamy and a gorgeous green colour. It’s totally riff-able so you can add in white beans if you’re out of chickpeas, edamame if you don’t have any avos on hand, and any tender herb will work in place of parsley. Add in as much garlic as you dare and garnish any way you please. You can even layer it on top of classic hummus if you’re looking to layer the flavours!
