- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- roasted sesame seeds, black and/or white (for garnish)
Instructions

Notes
How to serve. This dip is best made and served immediately. If you let the dip sit out too long, it could start to turn brown because of the avocado in it. Serve with Pita Bread or slices of any crusty bread, as part of a Charcuterie Board with pita chips, breadsticks and/or veggies for dipping.
Make ahead instructions: If you are planning to make this ahead of time, then store in an airtight container and be sure press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dip to prevent the surface from turning brown. Then, attach the lid of your container on top.
How to store: Store leftover avocado hummus in an airtight container with plastic cling wrap directly pressed onto the surface of the dip to prevent browning. Store for up to 5 days.
