This simplified recipe was designed to take one guacamole and make a quick and simple dip, or spread. Avocados are versatile because they freeze well. This means you can create a Guacamole base and refrigerate or freeze later use. As a precaution to avoid oxidation, we recommend you use lemon juice. Use the juice one whole lemon per avocado.
Hummus is a traditional Middle Eastern dip made with chickpeas and tahini. Although, earlier versions of the dish may have used other beans. In Malta, a place that resists all types of changes, we make a similar dish called bigilla. This is an ancient dish made in a similar way to hummus except it uses fresh broad beans and does not use tahini paste.
