I make basic hummus all the time but it’s never been so vegetably (!). I think it was genius to use avocado as the source of fat instead of the usual olive oil. Although you lose the heart healthy benefits of olive oil, avocado has its own healthy fats. I plan do make a variant of your recipe. Since I don’t have tahini, I’ll simply use some sesame oil. I also lack chili powder so I may use a bit of curry powder. Finally, I like texture and crunchiness so I probably won’t puree the onion. Thanks for proving the base recipe for me to play with.

Michael,
The lemon juice is freshly squeezed and can be used from about 1/2 a lemon. You can use this or lime juice but I like to use lemon juice for the sweet flavoring. If you are not a fan of lemon juice, you can omit, however I like the taste that it adds to this hummus! Hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend.
Best,
Amie

This looks really good to me, so I went to the store for the ingredients I did not have. Only after returning did I look at the instructions.

What (and, more importantly, how much?) lemon juice? There is no mention of lemon juice in the ingredients list.
