Hummamole (Hummus and Guacamole)

I am on a big health kick right now and eating tones of veggies, but this week as I plan my meals for the week I am not really feeling the plain veggies. So I got looking at dips and I saw a few variants of hummus and when I saw the picture of a green hummus I started thinking about guacamole. However I sometimes find guac a little too strong....That brings me to Hummamole...This is my mix of hummus and guacamole and trying to keep it the healthiest I can!

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!
