Healthy Yogurt Hummus- in 10 minutes!

*THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS (See Disclosure Policy)

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.

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.

This also makes a great side for a bowl of soup or salad. So, if you are looking for a delicious and healthy dip, give this yogurt hummus a try!

• 1 tsp olive oil

Recipe Notes

*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.
