Justine Schofield’s avocado hummus dip recipe is a healthy crowd pleaser

Justine Schofield has combined two classics to create a deliciously fresh and healthy dip perfect for your next platter.

Avocado and chickpeas are the perfect plant-based combination providing you with good fats, protein and fibre.
