Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups chickpeas (canned or cooked)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat recommended)
  • 1 medium fresh cucumber (finely diced or grated)
  • 1 ripe avocado (mashed)
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers (jarred or fresh)
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped and sautéed)
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives, chopped)
  • 3–4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • Spices: cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder
  • Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Assorted crackers and chips (pita chips, multigrain crackers, tortilla chips)
  • Fresh vegetables (carrot sticks, celery, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper strips)
  • Sliced baguette or crusty bread (lightly toasted)
  • Olives and pickles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse 1 ½ cups of chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon cumin, juice from half a lemon, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water little by little to reach desired consistency (about 5 minutes).
  2. Take half of the plain hummus and add 1-2 finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Pulse a few times until combined but still textured. Adjust heat to taste. Set aside.
  3. Blend ½ cup roasted red peppers with ½ cup cream cheese, 1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, and salt until smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes).
  4. Sauté 1 cup chopped spinach until wilted (about 3 minutes). Combine with 4 oz softened cream cheese, ½ cup shredded cheddar, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  5. Grate and squeeze out water from 1 medium cucumber. Mix cucumber with 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, 1 minced garlic clove, juice from half a lemon, and salt. Stir and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  6. Mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 small diced tomato, salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to keep fresh.
  7. Whisk together ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried chives, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Chill for 20 minutes before serving.
  8. Arrange small bowls of each dip on a large serving board. Surround with assorted dippers like pita chips, veggie sticks, crackers, and toasted baguette slices. Add olives or pickles if desired.

Notes

Peeling chickpeas before blending can make hummus extra smooth but is optional. Add chipotle peppers gradually to control heat. Cover avocado-based guacamole with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface to prevent browning. Make dips ahead and refrigerate to deepen flavors. Warm spinach and cheddar dip gently if desired. Arrange dips in contrasting colors for visual appeal.
