Quick hummus with avocado and tomatoes is a harmonious blend of Mexican and Middle Eastern flavors. The thick, aromatic chickpea paste enriched with tahini, lemon juice, and spices serves as the perfect base for fresh avocado and juicy tomatoes. The light bitterness of arugula completes the flavor palette, adding sophistication. This hummus is not only nutritious but also has a refreshing, slightly spicy note. It’s ideal for a light lunch or snack, pairing well with flatbreads, toasts, or fresh vegetables. This recipe is a quick alternative to traditional hummus that allows you to enjoy rich flavors without spending much time on preparation.

Make a cross cut at the base of the tomato and dip it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Let it cool, peel off the skin, and cut into cubes. After blanching the tomatoes, place them in cold water - the skin will come off very easily.
