Here’s a really simple, flavour packed dip recipe that isn’t exactly low in fat, but is definitely packed with good stuff. The avocado lends a creaminess that contrasts with the chunky chickpeas and crunchy seeds and it’s all rounded off with a chilli kick.

Here’s what to do to make this chilli and avocado houmous.

Ingredients

100ml (3.4 fl oz) olive oil
1 clove of fresh crushed garlic (or you can use a tsp of puree, which typically has a softer flavour)
1/2 – 1 red chilli (or you can use chilli powder to taste)
1 400g (14.1 oz) tin chickpeas drained and rinsed
1 large ripe avocado
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 tbsp mixed seeds
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Whiz the oil, garlic and chilli together in the blender until smooth
Add the chickpeas, avocado and lemon juice and pulse until you have a dip with some chunkier bits
Throw in the seeds and pulse just a couple of times to combine but not chop them up entirely
Serve your avocado houmous with toasted tortillas and vegetable crudities
