Fans of hummus and guacamole will love this mash-up and healthy appetizer to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Serve with an Irish flag formation of green, white and orange veggies and shamrock tortilla chips for dipping.

Everyone is a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day and I have an appetizer that’s healthy to help you celebrate, Avocado-Hummus Dip with Spinach Tortilla Shamrock Chips!

These edible shamrocks start with a package of spinach tortillas from the grocery store. Cut out your shamrocks with your cookie cutter and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. I found my shamrock cookie cutter at Michaels.

Spritz your shamrocks with olive oil or baking spray and sprinkle with sea salt, then bake at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes until tortilla shamrocks are crisp. My shamrock chips took about 6 minutes to crisp up in the oven.

Pull them out before they start to brown and allow the chips to cool.

 Avocado-Hummus Dip is easy to whip up in your food processor! If you’re a fan of hummus and guacamole, I think you’ll like this mash-up and healthy dip!
