Yogurt Hummus (no tahini)

This Healthy and Easy Yogurt Hummus is one of my favorite dips to serve on game day, game night, movie night, New Year's eve or 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. And if you're following the Weight Watchers Program this is a great low WW point hummus dip. It's 2 points on my plan, but you can click here to see how many WW points this recipe is on your personal plan!

🥘 Ingredients

Most hummus recipes call for tahini, but this one uses yogurt instead, giving it that welcome tangy flavor boost and cutting the calories and WW points. You can use regular or Greek yogurt, but I find the Greek yogurt adds a welcome richness and it can be thinned down (if you don't like it as thick) with a bit of reserved liquid from the chickpeas or additional lemon juice. Lots of garlic, fresh lemon juice and cilantro gives it a fresh taste and the crushed red pepper gives it a little kick!

For this Weight Watchers hummus (no tahini) recipe, you'll need:

• chickpeas (canned)
• fresh garlic
• non-fat Greek yogurt
• lemon juice (fresh)
• olive oil
• salt
• cumin
• cilantro
• crushed red pepper flakes

*see recipe card for quantities

🔪 Instructions

1. Drain chickpeas, reserving ¼ cup liquid. In food processor, add drained chickpeas all ingredients and process until smooth.
2. Add reserved liquid from chickpeas as needed, until you achieve the desired texture.

Garnish: Add additional cilantro and sprinkle a little crushed red pepper to garnish and serve with veggies, pita bread or pretzels

🥗 What to serve with hummus?

I love to serve hummus with mini pitas, veggies or even low-fat baked pretzels! This Weight Watchers appetizer is also an excellent side for a bowl of soup or salad. I often pack it along for lunch or a snack. 

🌡️Storage

How long does hummus last? Refrigerate in an air tight container and try use up your hummus in 3-4 days. However, it should be good until the best before date on your container of Greek yogurt. This recipe does not stand up to freezing - it would destroy the texture.

**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.
