    For a quick and easy party dip, try this posh party hummus. It take the classic dip and tops it with fresh pomegranate, pistachio and parsley, then drizzles it with extra virgin olive oil and sumac. Beautiful and packed with flavor.

    Plus follow my top tips for perking up store bought hummus.

    For this loaded party hummus, you can make your own or buy a large store bought pot.

    How to perk up store bought hummus

    Store bought hummus is often so thick and stiff. It lacks the soft almost fluffy texture of homemade. But Sometimes you just need the convenience.

    That is where this top tip comes in.

    Whisk two tablespoons of greek yoghurt into your hummus. It will lighten the texture, mellow the harsh flavors and give you a much more enjoyable dip.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups hummus see note 1
    • 2 tablespoon greek yogurt see note 2
    • ¼ cup pomegranate arils
    • 2 tablespoon shelled pistachios
    • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • ¼ teaspoon sumac
    • 2 tablespoon chopped parsley

    Instructions

    • If using store bought hummus, mix the yogurt with the hummus and stir well until smooth and creamy.
    • Spoon the hummus into a shallow serving bowl and smooth it with the back of a spoon.
    • Sprinkle over the pomegranate arils.
    • Chop the pistachios and sprinkle them over the hummus.
    • Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle over the sumac and chopped parsley.

    Notes

    1. You can use store bought hummus or make your own. This is my favourite recipe for hummus from Kate over at Cookie and Kate.
    2. If you are using store bought you will need the greek yogurt. If you are making your own then you won't need the greek yogurt.

      All very good tips for someone is just ready to make different humus for the first time! I love the combination of parsely and lemon, and will try to make my own humus as well as yours!

        Would it be possible to freeze the homemade homous and yoghurt?

          Hi Sally,

          I haven’t tried freezing it.
          I think it should work but I can’t say for certain.
          Sorry I can’t be more help. Next time I make it I will freeze a small amount to see what happens.

      In the recipe, you say mix warm water with the hummus but it is not listed as to how much. Sorry, I’m confused

        Hi Becky,
        I have updated the recipe, not sure my brain was working when I wrote it, as it should say yoghurt not water!
        Hope that helps 🙂
