So to start of course we an avocado and beans.
Normally hummus is made with chick peas but for today I am using white beans because they are softer I am assuming I will need to use less oil to get everything to mesh in the food processor.
Next, I added the juice of a lime, some onion and a crushed garlic clove (crush before putting it in to help it chop up better).
Tip: roll your lime on the counter before cutting because it loosens juices. Also if you're squeezing directly in to food processor squeeze it in to your hand first so the seeds don't end up in the mix.
I pulsed that all together adding olive oil as needed to make it all come together nicely.
Once it all had a good consistency I checked the taste. At this time add salt and more garlic or any other seasoning you like.
My last step is to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
I am not a big fan of tomatoes though they are a part of guacamole so you could use fresh tomatoes if you like. Add them already chopped to the mix once you take it out of the food processor cause you don't want to purée them. If you want your dip chunkier you could add the onions here instead of to the processor as well.
One Avocado
One can White Beans
Juice of one small Lime
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
One Garlic Clove
Olive Oil and Salt as needed
1/4 cup Sun-dried Tomatoes
You could make this mix thick like a spread or a thinner dip, it's your call. Either way, Enjoy!
