I [infact we all at our place] just like hummus and it was only few months back when I finally succeeded in making this favorite dish at home. You can read about that recipe here. For me hummus is a low caloric, nutritious and a highly satiating snack. I love it for the countless ways we can use it in any kind of meal. There are n number of ways to flavor the basic recipe. Today I am posting a version of hummus that's been flavored with avocado. In a way you can say this is milan of hummus and guacomole ;). I topped it on crackers garnished with cherry tomatoes and mint leaves and served them as a tea time snack !
