Hummus Spinach Artichoke Dip
A lighter AND more flavorful take on the classic spinach artichoke dip using hummus– everyone will love it!
I’d like to have a moment of silence for tahini and hummus. Tahini sent my little man to the ER a few weeks ago. Scariest night of my life and I’ll never eat hummus again without thinking about that.
Update: The below was written in 2015. As I type this now in 2019, we don’t keep hummus in our house. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this, but we’re a lot more careful now and don’t take risks like this. All families and kids with allergies are different, but please be smart if your child has a food allergy! They’re not something to mess around with. The only time I eat hummus now is when I’m out and about without my kids.
Thankfully, the rest of us can all eat hummus. Very, very, very carefully. Maybe I shouldn’t even have it in the house, but it’s hummus. So…it’s in the house. After my daughter eats it, I escort her to the bathroom to immediately wash her hands without touching anything so she can wash her hands with soap and water. I’m completely nuts (he’s allergic to nuts too, since we’re talking about it) but rightfully so. Never want to see little man’s face swollen up like that again. Thankfully I’m now armed with an EpiPen Jr., but I hope and pray that I never have to use it.
I also plan to take a Sharpie to everything that contains sesame seeds whenever the grandparents or a babysitter are in charge. Things will be obnoxiously labeled with “NOT FOR N!!!” and “DO NOT LET N EAT THIS!” Or maybe I’ll just stuff my face before we have a babysitter so it’s not even in the house.
I’m not sure if all this makes me the best Sabra Tastemaker or the worst Sabra Tastemaker ever. Either way, I’m honored to have the title again this year and I’m excited to be bringing you a few recipes made with hummus and some of Sabra’s other great products.
And tooooooday just so happens to be HUMMUS Day! Sorry little man, you’ll have to sit this one out.
So, we’ll celebrate with a great hummus spinach artichoke dip!
About this spinach artichoke dip:
This is a warm dip, perfect for crackers, chips, or chunks of bread. It’s easy to make and I love how creamy and cheesy it is. It’s a popular appetizer.
Simply mix a container of Sabra Spinach Artichoke Hummus with spinach, shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and a can of artichoke hearts. Put the mixture into a pretty casserole dish and heat it up until it’s warm and bubbly, and golden brown.
Serve the dip right out of the casserole dish with assorted dippers.

Looks fantastic, unfortunately I am allergic to sesame also. Mine is an airborne allergy also, meaning just to breath it in I have a reaction. Hugs to you and your son, allergies are scary.
Oh I’m so sorry, that must be so difficult. Thanks for the note, I will be thinking of you in my prayers.
I love spinach and artichoke dip and then combined with hummus, I might love it even more!
I could eat that right now
Aww that’s so sad to hear about your son. I’m glad you learned now and that YOU can continue to eat hummus :)
Whoa! I’m so sorry about your little boy’s reaction! We have serious nut allergies in my family, and it’s just a way of life now, ya know? You learn to be realllly good about knowing what has nuts. My brother is deathly allergic to pecans. Once, he was eating these ‘wheat berry’ rolls made my Pepperidge Farm, I think. Anyway, you wouldn’t think those would have pecans in them, but they actually had come in contact with pecans in the factory. Yeah, worst Thanksgiving ever.
Anyway, thanks! I’m off to try to win hummus to feed my addiction :)
Hey Girl, very very scary about your son! I am glad this story has a happy ending. Well I am a woman of a certain age–Lol. Out of the blue I became allergic to hummus. I am not allegoric to nuts. I can still eat sesame seeds. But when it’s concentrated like the tahini in hummus, I get a tummy ache. Even with just a little bit. I was sad because I love hummus.
What a great idea mixing hummus into this dip!
This looks great! Art had to eat my naan pizza but I knew it would taste awesome. I used to sneak bites of hummus but my allergist kept yelling at me so now I don’t. At least I can eat my weight in Sabra Greek yogurt dip and salsa :)
