With only half a dozen ingredients, my creamy avocado hummus is ready in just a few minutes, and is full of goodness, and super-delicious. Especially when eaten by the spoonful!

As some of you may recall, a while back I had some major dental surgery, and I discovered that it's not until you have a face full of stitches you realise just how many foods are out of bounds.

Although my mouth healed well from all the surgery, it was eight months until I could eat food which wasn't soft. And of course, because of that, I wanted all the sandwiches, all the crackers, all the raw veggies!

Instead though, I contented myself with lots of soup and congee.

And hummus.

And avocados.

In particular, this creamy avocado hummus.

Om nom nom!

Creamy Avocado Hummus

Is...

soy-free

Eat it with crudités, crisps (potato chips), tortilla chips, on crackers, with bread sticks, pittas, in sandwiches, on baked potatoes... or straight out of the bowl. Whatever floats your boat!

Enjoy!

DisclaimerMeasurements in parenthesis are approximate; it is beyond the scope of yumsome to be able to provide pinpoint-accurate ingredient quantities for every type of measuring utensil. As a guideline however, I make the assumption that:

1 cup = US cup = 240 ml
1 tablespoon = US/UK = 15 ml
1 fl oz = US = 30 ml
