Layered avocado hummus – Avocado hummus with chickpea salad

Creamy avocado hummus topped with a fresh, crunchy chickpea salad. Perfect alongside roast chicken, a grilled steak or pork tenderloin, or as a light lunch with good bread.

Avocado hummus tastes wonderful – mild, smooth and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the crunchy chickpea salad with cucumber, edamame and a vinaigrette with a touch of lemon and cumin.
The salad can be served as part of a tapas or meze spread, but it also makes a lovely light lunch for 4, or a side dish for 6.
I love serving avocado hummus with good bread – something that can hold plenty of topping.

Method

Avocado hummus

  • Tip the chickpeas into a mini chopper along with the spinach and blitz briefly. This collapses it a little and makes more room for the remaining ingredients.
    *If you are using a larger blender, you can add all the ingredients at once and season with lemon and salt at the end.
  • Add the avocado in large chunks, the grated garlic (start with 2 cloves), tahini, olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lemon, cumin and salt (start with 1/2 tsp), and blend until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This can easily take 5 minutes.
    Scrape down the sides along the way if needed.
  • Taste and adjust with more lemon juice, more salt, cumin or garlic, and adjust the consistency with a little water if needed. Blend the hummus until it is smooth and creamy; it takes a little time to get it light and creamy, so be patient.
    I like it smooth and creamy, and usually add 2 tablespoons of cold water.
  • Set the hummus aside until the salad is ready.

Chickpea salad

  • Combine the chickpeas, edamame and all the prepared vegetables in a bowl.
  • Stir together the oil, lemon juice and cumin, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the salad with the vinaigrette.

Layered avocado hummus

  • Spread the avocado hummus over a plate in a thick layer.
  • Spoon the salad over the top, drizzle with a little olive oil and finish with freshly ground pepper.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a few fresh herbs, if you like.

    Dejlig kombination af guacamole og hummus

    Hej, du har så mange lækre opskrifter, man får bare lyst til at prøve dem alle, jeg er godt i gang. Nu har jeg fundet din opskrift på avokado-hummus med kikærtesalat og vil gerne serverer den sammen med kylling til 25-30 personer.
    Kan avokado humusen laves dagen før? Normalt bliver guacamola hurtigt brunt og kedeligt, måske kikærterne kan gøre en forskel.

    Håber du svarer på spørgsmål, og gerne inden 1. Septemer, hvor gæsterne kommer

    • Hej Anna Mette

      Hvor gør det mig bare glad at høre, – tusind tak for de søde ord 🙂

      Du kan sagtens lav den dagen i forvejen, – spinaten gør at den holder sig flot grøn.
      Pak den tætlukket med film eller i en boks, – og læg evt. et par avocadosten ved. De skulle ligeledes gøre at den holder sig flot grøn.

      Rigtig god fornøjelse, – jeg håber den falder I jeres smag 🙂

      Warm wishes, Dianna

  3. En meget, meget lækker salat!
    Jeg har brugt opskriften til små frikadeller og nye kartofler.
    Salaten kan bruges til mange retter, hvor kødmængden er i underkanten! (Når man er kødspiser, kan det være svært at udelade det, skønt retten har så meget protein!)
    Jeg har tdl. smagt den med lidt varmt røget laks – UHM. (jeg er vild med laks – det er bare blevet lidt dyrt til daglig brug.)
    Det er iøvrigt førsste gang, jeg smager en hummus, som jeg elsker!

    • Hej Ellis

      Ej hvor er det bare helt fantastisk at høre, – hvor er det dejligt du deler det med mig, tusind tak 🙂
