My girls love hummus and snack on it all the time. Homemade hummus is always best, but every now and then when I'm short on time and want a healthy snack, I get the prepackaged kind usually found in the refrigerated section by the deli aisles. 

Since I had some in the refrigerator, I used that; then added a few other ingredients to make Buffalo Hummus. It saved a TON of time and we had a tasty dip in minutes! 

What is Hummus?

Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip made with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It's creamy in texture and has a garlicky, tangy taste and is usually served with pita bread or fresh vegetables. It's also a staple in the Mediterranean diet.

Is Hummus Healthy?

Hummus is a healthy snack which contains a lot of protein, fiber and healthy fats. It also contains nutrients like folate, magnesium, potassium, iron and vitamins A, E and C. As an added bonus, it's also gluten free!

Equipment Needed

  • Mini Food Processor
  • Serving Dip Bowl

Ingredients

For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients: 

  • Prepared Hummus
  • Tabasco Sauce (or other hot sauce)
  • Crumbled Bleu Cheese
  • Pita Bread, Pita Chips or Fresh Chopped Vegetables for dipping

I chose to use a classic hummus, but if you'd like to make the hummus from scratch, this Roasted Chickpea & Leek Hummus would be a great base.

We like to eat ours with fresh pita bread that's been warmed slightly in the oven; then cut into wedges to make it easier for dipping.

How do you make Buffalo Hummus?

Start by adding the hummus to the food processor; then add the cheese and tabasco sauce. You can make this as mild or hot as you prefer. Attach the lid; then pulse until smooth. 

Remove the dip from the processor and place in a serving dip bowl. Drizzle a little hot sauce on top as a garnish; then serve with pita or fresh cut vegetables. That's all there is to it and the flavor is delicious with a little bit of heat.

Buffalo Hummus dip would make a tasty addition to your New Year's Eve celebrations or as a game day snack. ~Enjoy!
