Jump to Recipe What is Ranch Hummus Dip?

Unlike traditional hummus made from scratch with chickpeas and tahini, this ranch hummus dip is more of a flavor mashup that uses prepared hummus as a shortcut ingredient. It's thicker and creamier than regular hummus, making it perfect for scooping with sturdy vegetables and chips.

Ranch hummus dip is a creamy appetizer that blends store-bought hummus with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and ranch seasoning mix. It has the tangy flavor of ranch dressing with the smooth, spreadable texture of a party dip. Think of it as the best of both worlds - the protein and fiber of hummus meets the addictive flavor of ranch in one bowl.

Tips for Perfect Ranch Hummus Dip

Make it ahead: This dip actually tastes better after it's had time to chill and let the flavors develop. Make it the night before your party for maximum flavor.

Adjust the thickness: If your dip is too thick, thin it out with a tablespoon or two of milk or extra Greek yogurt. If it's too thin, add a bit more cream cheese.

Double the recipe: This dip disappears fast at parties! Don't hesitate to double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd.

Room temperature mixing: All your ingredients should be at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest texture. Cold ingredients don't blend as easily.

Use full-fat cream cheese: While you can use low-fat or fat-free cream cheese, full-fat creates the richest, creamiest texture.

Why This Recipe Works

The cream cheese adds richness and body, making the dip thick enough to scoop with sturdy vegetables without dripping.

The Greek yogurt adds tanginess and extra protein while keeping the dip from being too heavy.

The hummus brings Mediterranean flavor, fiber, and a smooth base that pairs surprisingly well with ranch.

The ranch seasoning mix is the star - it adds that addictive herby, garlicky, oniony flavor everyone loves without any extra work.

Together, these four ingredients create a dip that's creamy, tangy, savory, and absolutely addictive.
