We’ve tried and tested 3 different recipes, all containing avocado that are absolutely delicious!
1. Avocado & smoked salmon bagel
A little healthy twist on the classic American “lox and cream cheese” bagel.
Makes: 2 open sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 1 plain or sesame seed bage,l sliced in half
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 60g of smoked salmon
- A squeeze of lemon
- Black pepper
2. Chocolate avocado mousse
Slightly adapted from Hemsley & Hemsley’s recipe, this sounds a bit whacky but try not to make any judgement until you’ve tried it!
Makes: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe frozen banana
- 3 tbsp of cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp runny honey
- 1 ripe avocado
Pop all the ingredients together in a blender and blend until even and smooth. Give it a taste, add a little more cocoa powder or honey if necessary as the quantities will depend on the size of the avocado.
3. Guacamole hummus
Love guac? Love hummus? Can’t decide which you love more? This one is for you.
Makes: 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
- 400g of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- Half a lime, juiced
- A bunch of fresh cilantro leaves
- Tortilla chips to serve
Pop the avocado, chickpeas, cilantro and garlic in a food processor/blender until all ingredients are finely chopped. Whilst the machine is running, slowly add the olive oil and lime juice. If the mixture is too thick, add water to taste. Season with salt and pepper and serve with tortilla chips.
