As a plant-based eater, I’ve had my fair share of hummus – it’s such a great high-protein dip that is not only delicious but takes just minutes to make. If you’re bored of the usual hummus flavors, you are going to love the heat in this buffalo hummus dip recipe!

Of course, a tasty dip needs something for scooping. That’s why I’m partnering with Duda Farm Fresh Foods and using their fresh and crispy celery to pair with this buffalo hummus dip.

Not to mention, celery is also high in fiber and full of vitamins and minerals and just overall such a great kitchen staple. Plus, Dandy® fresh-cut celery is naturally sweeter, crispier, and less stringy than other brands on the grocery store shelves!

For anyone looking to add a new appetizer to their game day line-up, I think this buffalo dip earns a spot. Speaking of watching football while snacking, Dandy® is running a fun sweepstakes right now called Dip It to Win In where you can win some really great prizes (including a $1000 gift card)!

Ingredients for Buffalo Hummus

All you need to recreate this buffalo hummus at home is a handful of pantry staples, a food processor, and lots of veggies for dipping. Here are a few notes on the ingredients in this hummus. Scroll down to the bottom of the post to find the ingredient quantities. 

• Chickpeas: these delicious and nutrient-dense beans provide the base for this hummus. You’ll need one standard size can of chickpeas, but you can double the recipe if serving a crowd. You can also substitute with white beans instead if you want to switch things up.
• Tahini: a quintessential ingredient for good hummus. The sign of a good tahini is that it should be pretty runny and pourable.
• Buffalo Sauce: the super popular hot sauce for wings is getting the plant-based treatment in this hummus. It adds delicious heat. Feel free to adjust the amount added based on your spice preference. 
• Celery and Other Veggies for Dipping: celery and carrots are the standard pairings for buffalo sauce-flavored dishes. I love the convenience of the Dandy ® fresh-cut celery dippers which are pre-cut to be the perfect size for dipping.

How to Make Buffalo Hummus

Puree: drain your chickpeas and then dump them in your food processor with the tahini, buffalo sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Puree until a dip starts to form. Add 2-3 tablespoons of ice water through the chute in the lid while it is running. Allow to run for a couple of minutes for a smoother hummus.

Garnish and Serve: Scoop the hummus out of your food processor and spread on to a plate or bowl for serving. For extra pizzaz, I like to garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a few chickpeas, paprika, chopped chives, and some dairy-free blue cheese. All totally optional! Serve with your favorite veggies and pita chips. 

What to Serve with Buffalo Hummus

There are so many delicious options for scooping up your buffalo hummus. 

• Veggies: celery (Dandy of course!), carrot sticks, cauliflower, cucumber, snacking peppers, snap peas
• Pita chips or pita bread
• Tortilla chips
• Use it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps – it’s an easy way to add a ton of flavor
• Add it to these hummus bowls – one of our favorite weeknight dinner ideas

Storage

This hummus can be prepped in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze hummus, but it may change the texture slightly. Honestly, this never lasts long enough in our house that it needs to be stored in the freezer!
