Guackus


Guacamole + Black Bean Dip + Hummus

= Guackus!


In a desperate attempt to find soft, nutritious foods that Jesse could eat after having his wisdom teeth removed, I found myself looking up recipes for things like Guacamole, Black Bean dip, and Hummus. I quickly discovered that they're pretty much all the same thing, just a different main ingredient. So I threw it all together and figured even if it wasn't good it would still be good for Jesse.
Turns out Jesse doesn't care for it, but I'm absolutely in love with it!

The Recipe



3/4 cup Chick Peas
3/4 cup Black Beans
1 ripe, med avocado
2 tbsp unhulled sesame seeds
1 tbsp grape seed oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder

First, grind the sesame seeds in a coffee grinders. Then blend everything together. I use a hand blender, but I'm sure a food processor would work just as well. 



This recipe serves 2-4 people. It is best served with chips, but also quite good with a veggie tray.
