For Serving (any of these as you like)

Sumac
Slivered Pistachios our favorite - tastes delicious
Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

In a food processor or blender, add drained and rinsed chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cumin, salt and ice cubes. Pulse few times to make a coarse mixture.
Then, add pitted and peeled ripe avocados, tahini, fresh cilantro and blend until smooth and creamy. You may add more ice cubes, if needed. Do the taste test and add more lemon juice, or salt, only if desired.
Spoon the prepared hummus on to a serving platter and spread using a back of spoon.
Drizzle olive oil and garnish with cilantro, red pepper flakes, sumac or slivered pistachios. Serve with pita chips, veggies stick or tortilla chips, and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Place the dip in clean airtight container for up to 2-3 days. I suggest placing a layer of oil or cling wrap touching the top to avoid exposure.
