This Healthy Yogurt Hummus is one of my favorite dips to serve on New Year’s eve or at any holiday party. In fact, this is the best hummus I have ever had and it’s actually adapted from a Weight Watchers cookbook recipe.

It only takes 10 minutes to throw together so it’s perfect for prepping during busy holiday times. If you’re following the Weight Watchers Program this is a great hummus dip @ 1 WW Point on the blue plan!

Healthy Hummus

Most hummus recipes call for tahini, but this one uses yogurt instead, giving it that welcome tangy flavor boost. It makes a great appetizer/snack and you can serve it with veggies, pretzel rounds or pretzel crackers. I often take this chickpea dip to work with some pretzel crackers or baby carrots. It also makes a great healthy movie night snack!

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6-8 sprigs fresh cilantro depending on your taste

  • 1 19 ounce can chickpeas drained *garbanzo beans), reserve 3 tbsp liquid from chickpeas

  • Add additional cilantro and sprinkle a little crushed red pepper to garnish

Notes

*NOTE: This recipe makes about 2 cups, with 6 servings, a serving being about 1/3 cup for 1 WW points on the blue plan. When I create this recipe in my WW app, I get 0 (Zero) points, but my nutritional calculator gives the calories, etc, then I plug into the WW app and get 5. I'm compromising at 1, since all of the ingredients in this recipe are zero points on blue, except the olive oil. 
**NOTE: Cilantro is sold in bunches of several stems with side branches. If you pull out one stem with all the side branches, then pinch off one of the side branches with 3 or 4 leaves, that's a sprig. If you find the flavor isn't strong enough, add more sprigs until it's at the level you like.

    Hello there from the UK.

    I made this for lunch but added more of the chickpea water because I wanted more of a sauce ti have with courgette noodles. It was lovely!! I have never really been a fan oh hummus but this converted me. I actually cannot believe how large a 25 calorie serving was!!

    Many thanks.
