# How-to:

01 - In a medium bowl, mash avocados until smooth. Stir in lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, cumin, and black pepper. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
02 - Preheat oven broiler or grill. Place red bell peppers under broiler or on grill, turning occasionally until skins are charred, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover, and let steam for 5 minutes. Peel off skins and discard seeds.
03 - In a food processor, combine roasted red peppers, cream cheese, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate.
04 - Place chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, turmeric, cumin, garlic, and salt into a food processor. Blend until smooth, gradually adding cold water to reach a creamy consistency. Transfer to a bowl.
05 - Spoon each dip side by side on a long serving platter, forming a colorful triad. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of spices.
06 - Offer with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or crackers for dipping.
