Ingredients

  • 8–12 oz plain hummus
  • 1 cup prepared guacamole
  • ¼ cup pico de gallo or fresh chunky salsa (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Simple Mills® Pita Chips, for serving

How to Make It

  1. Spread the hummus evenly across the bottom of a shallow serving dish.
  2. Carefully layer the guacamole over the hummus, smoothing it into an even layer.
  3. Top with the drained pico de gallo or chunky salsa.
  4. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
  5. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving.

Tips for the Best Dip

  • Drain the pico de gallo or salsa well to prevent excess liquid from making the dip watery.
  • Make it just before serving for the freshest flavor and brightest colors.
  • Add sliced jalapeños or crumbled cotija cheese if you'd like a little extra kick (if dietary preferences allow).
  • Pair with gluten-free pita chips, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, bell peppers, and carrots.
