Avocado Hummus

 12 garlic cloves
 1 15 oz can of chickpeas , drained (or roughly 2 cups cooked chickpeas)

 2 tbsp Greek Yogurt
 3 tbsp tahini
 1 pinch salt
 1 tsp ground cumin
 0.50 tsp cayenne pepper
 0.50 lime
1

In a large food processor, fitted with a blade, add the hummus ingredients (garlic, chickpeas, avocados, Greek yogurt, tahini, salt, cumin, cayenne and lime juice). Run the food processor to blend until the hummus mixture is smooth.

2

Test, and if it's too thick, add a very little bit of the chickpeas canning liquid. Run the processor again until you achieve the desired creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.

3

Transfer the avocado hummus to a serving dish and cover tightly with plastic wrap (if you press the plastic warp well, it will help prevent air from changing the color of the avocado hummus). Chill a few minutes before serving. Uncover and smooth the surface of the hummus and drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with fresh parsley or another herb if you like.
