This is such a great treat. I love hummus and avocados, so adding them together is a bonus. By using pine nuts instead of the tahini paste is a unique twist. this is great with raw vegetables or any kind pita chip. It is a favorite when you have company over, you may want to double the recipe because it will be gone quickly.
