15-Minute Avocado Hummus is a perfect and easy avocado recipe. For those of your that love avocado, this will be on repeat at your house!
If you love avocado spreads, you will love our 5 Minute Garlic Avocado Spread recipe.
15-Minute Avocado Hummus has a nice balance of flavors: citrus, spice and avocado. But, if you want to avoid the spice factor, skip on red pepper flakes and jalapeños altogether.
To preserve avocado color, leave avocado pit inside the mixture. This will prevent it from browning. Also using citrus in avocado spreads helps preserve the color for a longer time.
How to Ripen Avocados
The quickest way to ripen avocados is to place them in a paper bag with apples, but once avocados are softened, you should refrigerate them. Another way to ripen them is to just keep avocados at room temperature. This process takes a little longer but works just as great.
Does Avocado Have Protein?
Avocados typically have about 2 grams of protein. This is a very important fact to our family because my husband is a gym junky, so everything we eat must have protein.. Lol!

Will it turn brown like avocados will??
Hey Nancy, there is a good amount of citrus that will prevent it from turning brown but I would recommend eating it within two days.
This looks insanely delicious! I always buy avocado hummus but never thought of making it at home. Plus your tips on how to ripen avocado are genius 🙂 I always just let mine sit at room temperature but next time I'm so putting them in a brown bag.
Sometimes I leave mine in the sun as well. But thats the quickest way.
