# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The avocado makes it silkier than regular hummus without any dairy
- People will think you spent way more time on it than you actually did
02 -
- The lime juice isn't just for flavor, it keeps the avocado from oxidizing and turning brownish
- If making ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and add the garnish right before serving
03 -
- Use a perfectly ripe avocado, the creamy texture is literally the foundation of this recipe
- Room temperature ingredients blend more smoothly, so pull the chickpeas out of the can early
