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.

- Sprinkle over the pomegranate arils.

- 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!
Sally Brooke says
Would it be possible to freeze the homemade homous and yoghurt?
Claire McEwen says
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.

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