AVOCADO HUMMUS

Avocado Hummus image

My husband found this recipe in his Triathlete magazine, so we whipped it up tonight. "This twist on regular hummus - a Mediterranean diet staple - is so creamy and delicious (and packed with healthy fats), that you may just eat it with a spoon and lose the pita altogether!" From Triathlete Magazine, November 2009.
