Notes
# 1 If you’d like to stress more the avocado flavor simply reduce the tahini slightly, and if you want a traditional taste then leave it as it is.
# 2 You can also make avocado hummus ahead of time, but in this case cover surface with plastic before chilling, otherwise, the mixture can turn brown thanks to avocados. It can be made up to four days ahead and you can keep also leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container.
