The holiday season is upon us and that means a lot of holiday parties with tables full of appetizers, finger foods, comforting main dishes and delicious sweets. I am teaming up with American Dairy Association Mideast today to bring you this Roasted Red Pepper Greek Yogurt Hummus, just in time for your next holiday party!

My favorite part of holiday parties is always the appetizers, especially the dips. You can almost always find me with a chip or piece of pita bread in my hand dipping it into something tasty like this Roasted Red Pepper Greek Yogurt Hummus.

This dip is packed with flavor from the fire roasted red peppers and has added protein and calcium from the Greek yogurt. While I like plain, classic hummus, I especially like flavored hummus for snacking and spreading on my sandwiches, like this Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich.

If you like hummus you should try may Hummus Platter, Loaded Hummus Pitas, Lebanese Hummus Recipe, Cucumber Hummus Bites or this Ground Beef Layered Hummus.

Recipe Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Beans: As in traditional hummus this recipe uses chickpeas. You can used canned chickpeas just save some of the liquid to help thin out your hummus if you want. You also should rinse the chickpeas. You can use dried chickpeas, just soak overnight.
  • Yogurt: The trick to making this hummus extra creamy and packed with protein in the Greek yogurt. It also added a tangy kick! You can sub in regular yogurt but it has a thinner consistency so keep that in mind.
  • Roasted Red Peppers: The roasted red peppers are a fun addition to this hummus. I buy fire roasted red peppers at the store but you can just buy regular. You also can leave this out for a traditional hummus flavor.
  • Lemon Juice: The lemon juice helps balance the flavors and adds a touch of sweetness.
  • Tahini: The tahini helps thicken the hummus and adds an earthy and nutty flavor.
  • Garlic: The garlic is a great addition. I try to use fresh garlic if I can but you can also use garlic powder if that is all you have.
  • Olive Oil: Try to use high quality olive oil. I go for an extra virgin olive oil whenever I can.

Ways to Modify this Greek Yogurt Hummus

Here are a few other ways you can modify this hummus to create a different flavor:

  • Try adding 2 lemons juiced to the hummus and leaving out the roasted red peppers to create a light and fresh Lemon Hummus. 
  • Make a spicy hummus by using 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin and 1 teaspoon coriander. 
  • Create a Lebanese inspired hummus by topping it with tabbouleh, fresh chickpeas and a drizzle of olive oil.
