Avocado-Pecan "Hummus"

Avocado-Pecan "Hummus"






This recipe couldn't be easier, and it's loaded with good fats and nutrients...a raw/vegan/vegetarian dream. You can use this as a dip/hummus, or use it as a spread/mayo on sandwiches.


AVOCADO-PECAN "HUMMUS"

1 cup pecans
2 avocados
2-3 Tablespoons flax oil
Juice of 1 lemon (or lime).
Salt to taste

Chop pecans in a food processor until mealy. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. Add more oil or water if you want a thinner consistency. Salt to taste. I used fresh-squeezed lemon juice in this batch of "hummus", but I think lime would be even more perfect.
