Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed (for guacamole) OR 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained (for hummus)
- 1–2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream (for web design)

- Spread the guacamole or hummus evenly into a shallow serving dish or plate.
- Fill a small piping bag or a Ziploc bag with a snipped corner with yogurt or sour cream.
- Pipe concentric circles of yogurt/sour cream onto the surface of the guacamole/hummus, starting from the center and working outwards.
- Drag a toothpick or skewer from the center outwards through the circles to create the spider web effect.
- If desired, place a black olive slice or piece to resemble a spider in the center or on the edge of the web.
- Serve immediately with chips or crackers.
Notes
