This is one of my favourite 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 dip!
Healthy Hummus
Most hummus recipes call for tahini, but this one uses yogurt instead, giving it that welcome tangy flavour 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!
Gluten-free Hummus
This gluten-free hummus is also an excellent side for a bowl of soup or salad. So, if you are looking for a delicious and healthy dip, give this Weight Watchers hummus recipe with yogurt a try!
And check out my other Weight Watchers Tortilla Pinwheels – it’s another great Weight Watchers appetizer!

I love the sound of this with the yogurt, so yummy .
Hi: Thanks- yes, the yogurt gives it a nice flavour- different from tahini

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.
Hi Alexandria! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment 🙂 I’m really glad you liked it and are now a hummus convert! Take care and I hope you stop by again soon.

Love hummus!! Will have to try this recipe!!!!
thanks, Tisha! Hope you enjoy it!
This looks tasty. Time to make this!
Thanks-hope you enjoy it!
Sounds delicious! I’m confused on how it can make four 25-calorie servings (which would be a total of 100 calories) however, since a can of chickpeas alone has 420 calories?
Thanks for pointing this out, Tracy! There was an issue with my nutrition calculator and it’s fixed now. Hope you enjoy the hummus!
