Hummus is one of those dishes that demonstrates the true benefits of simplicity. Typically, most hummus starts with a base of just four primary ingredients: chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. From there, you’re free to use it as your canvas—we’ve certainly done so, incorporating other flavors like Roasted Red Pepper, Olive Tapenade, and Crunchy Chili Onion. But even aside from adding flavors, just adjusting the proportions of one of the existing base ingredients yields remarkable results. Take Trader Joe’s Dreamy Creamy Hummus, for instance. Here, our supplier doubles the amount of tahini of a standard hummus recipe to create a texture so thick, rich, and exquisitely Creamy that it’s simply Dreamy.

With its luxuriously smooth consistency and savory, ever-so-slightly tart flavor profile, our Creamy Dreamy Hummus makes and excellent (and easy) appetizer. Simply pair it with something crunchy and dippable, like our Pita Chips or Papadums. It’s also always welcome as part of a mezze plate or crudités platter, and acts as a truly stupendous spread for a grilled veggie sandwich, a Shawarma Chicken wrap, or pita pocket filled with Falafel.
