20 Best Dip and Hummus Recipes (2024)

We can never get enough of dip and hummus recipes. While you might think their sole purpose is to fill up a bowl so you can dunk your veggies and chips in them, dip and hummus recipes are actually incredibly versatile. Aside from dipping, you can use them:

• As a sandwich spread instead of mayo
• As a sauce for your veggies, meat, fish, gluten-free pasta or recipe-free dinner bowls
• As a thick and hearty salad dressing
• As a topping for savory oatmeal, toast, baked sweet potatoes, grains, chili or soups

We like to make a dip or hummus recipe each week (or several!) and keep them in the fridge to dollop as we please. All you need is a good food processor or blender and you’re ready to whip them up at home, too. Here are some of our favourite dip and hummus recipes to get you started!
