Avocado Hummus

Hummus is a must have for a lot of healthy eaters out there. I am one of those that have yet to try it. I have heard it is really good though. This recipe gives it a kick by having avocado in it. It does sound really good though since I am a huge fan of Avocados. I'm sure you can use this as a dip with some healthy crackers or maybe even some vegetables!

3 cloves garlic, finely minced
3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
