Avocado White Bean Hummus {Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free}

Deliciously light and healthy, this Avocado White Bean Hummus will be your new favorite appetizer. This creamy dip is vegan, gluten free and dairy free too.

This hummus is so ridiculously easy you won’t ever want to eat store bought hummus again.  The avocado adds extra nutrients such as healthy fats (monounsaturated), fiber, vitamins and minerals.  

The avocado also gives the hummus a wonderful creamy texture (and a pretty green color 🙂 )  You guys know how much I love my avocados.

This recipe is just 1 of the 300 recipes in my new cookbook, “The Everything Wheat-Free Diet Cookbook” which you can buy at Amazon and Barnes and Noble! Just thought I would share a shameless plug in here…

I love appetizers so much, I can just east a bunch of them for dinner and be very, very happy. This hummus is so simple to prepare that it just might become your new go-to appetizer for all of your parties and gatherings.

I love the fact that it’s very allergy friendly too so that always helps when you bring it to a party or cookout. You never know who might be gluten free, dairy free or vegan, right?

I always try to be conscious of that because I know people who have allergies or intolerances can struggle to find foods they can eat at parties.

The best part about this hummus is that it’s so pretty and looks fancy, but it is ridiculously easy to make. It will be our secret. I won’t tell if you won’t tell.

I have had some people tell me that they don’t like cilantro (gasp) or that it tastes like soap to them. That’s ok, you can easily leave it out.

Just don’t leave out the garlic or lemon out, they are crucial to the delicious flavors in this hummus. 

I have also had readers tell me that they used a variety of different beans for this recipe. I always love to hear how your substitutions come out so I can share with everyone.

So please always come back and let me know if you changed the recipe at all and what you thought. You guys always have the best tips and tricks!

IF you guys have leftovers, which we rarely do when we make this, you can keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. But let me warn you that it will turn a not so pretty brown color from the avocados.

It will still taste delicious, but it won’t look as appealing.

Honestly, I doubt you will have leftovers anyway so I wouldn’t even worry about it. That is how confident I am that you will love this hummus as much as we do.
