I am sharing a GEM with you today. My mom got this recipe for Hummus Guacamole Dip from her good friend Jenny, of Jenny’s Green Salad fame. When my mom first described it to me, I must admit I was skeptical. Hummus WITH avocados? Hmmmm….but then I had it for the first time on the Cape this summer. Oh…my…goodness. It is delicioso. The flavors blend together so nicely. And the best part? It’s super duper healthy while also tasting like a very decadent dip.
I can have this stuff for lunch with some corn chips and be all set. Well, maybe not all set…since it tends to appear for afternoon snack time, and then again at dinner! I also served this at a pool party recently and EVERYONE was asking about the dip…when it was time to go home, the giant bowl was empty. See, I know what I’m talking about.
- Two 12oz pkgs of Guacamole (Jane’s Mom’s Note: of course I NEVER use packaged Guac (she smashes up a bunch of avocados))
- 1 Pint of Hummus w/roasted garlic (or any flavor you want)
- 1 15.5oz can black beans (slightly drained)
- Chunky mild/medium salsa (about a cup)
- Mix by hand and chill. Serve with whatever corn chips you like!
3 avocados, smashed up
8 oz hummus
1 can black beans (drained)
8 oz chunky or fresh salsa
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix by hand and chill. Serve with corn chips!

I can’t wait to make this one!
you are going to love it, maria…totally up your vegetarian alley! 🙂
Guacamole and Hummus in one recipe? Where do I sign?
Holy Moly! That looks awesome. I’ll have to get me some avos stat, as I’ve got all the rest. YUMMMMMMM
Is it wrong that I’m licking the computer screen?
no, that means I’m doing my job 😉
This sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Oooooh I love this dip/salsa/guac whatever it is! Try garlic hummus…it’s ten times better than using original.
This sounds great! I can’t believe I haven’t thought of pairing the two up together before! You better believe I’m going to start after this though!
This recipe looks and sounds so yummy. I can almost taste it. I can’t wait to try it! Thanks for sharing.
I really want to try this! Neat combination of flavors too!
I’m soooooo making this this weekend! 3 of my favorite things, in 1 bowl, SCORE!
I will try this! Thanks for the tip!
This looks amazing!!!! I’m off to the store now to get whatever I need to make this now!
Hi there,
I would like to try this dip for my party, just missing the info for the salsa.
Is there a way to make it you you bought it made?
Thanks a lot!
hi svetlana! yes, I just bought salsa at the store, but it’s easy to make salsa! I would do a google search for salsa recipes and look for ones that are a little chunkier, although any salsa will be tasty for this recipe.
this one looks good! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-fresh-tomato-salsa/
here’s another! http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/restaurant-style-salsa-recipe/
good luck! 🙂
Thanks a lot, Jane!
Will report about the results in a week 🙂
Am I the only guy here? 🙂 This really does sound great and a healthier option than most dips. I constantly scour the net for new ideas as I love to cook, and I am glad I came across this site! Thank you for guiding me to my football snack this weekend! I think I may go with pita chips though…not sure yet!
you are one of the few guys around here, so I”m glad you commented! 😉 yes, I love that it’s healthier, I don’t feel so guilty when I chow down – and pita chips would be great!
We had this for lunch the other day, it was fabulous! I made a couple of minor changes, we loved it, thanks for such a great recipe!!!
I had a friend make this dip last night for a party and it was delicious. Looking forward to making it. It is so good and healthy too.
how fun, love that you loved it and that they passed the recipe on to you! I especially love the nutrition factor, too…so many good ingredients in here! happy cooking!
I am making this for 20-25 people how much does it make?
Hi Brittney!
There are two versions of the recipe in the recipe card above – the original version makes a lot of dip, you could probably get away with just following the recipe as written. Between the guac and the hummus the dip is at least 40 ounces, and that’s not including the beans and salsa.
My version below written in the notes makes MUCH less, probably about half as much or a little less, so I would double that one (or maybe triple for 25-30 people).
hope that’s helpful!
