Crunchy salty things are pretty much my life. If given the choice between a two foot tall chocolate cake or a big bag of chips, I will always choose the chips! Or maybe I’ll choose the chips and then dip them into the chocolate frosting, is that strange?! Either way, the chips are most definitely going into my mouth and I probably won’t share any with you. Sorry!
So, when I got a big box of these Ancient Grain Crisps from Udi’s this week I immediately tore into them and ate half of each bag. And they were so good! They are light and crispy and are honestly the best gluten free crackers I have had, which is a great find for me because I eat a lot of hummus. And although I have been known to eat hummus with just a spoon, it is sometimes nice to have a cracker to dip in it! These crisps are also made with non-gmo corn which is a big plus in my book 🙂
They come in three different flavors, Aged Cheddar, Simply Sea Salt, and Jalapeno Cheddar. The Simply Sea Salt is great for dipping into this Loaded Greek Hummus Dip but the Aged Cheddar have my heart!
For this post I knew that I had to combine my two favorite things; crispy crackers and hummus. I’ve posted a few hummus recipes already but this one is my favorite by far. Whenever I go to a Greek restaurant I always order some type of salad because I know that it will combine all of my favorite ingredients into one big bowl; feta, kalamata olives, cucumber, and artichoke hearts. So I thought it would be great to combine the ingredients from Greek salad with hummus and it is really good!
With each bite you get a little bit of the creamy hummus, salty feta and olives, and crunchy vegetables. It’s like a little taste of heaven on each delicious crisp! Seriously, you will love this hummus dip and these Ancient Grain Crisps!

- 1 pinch cayenne pepper

For the longest time I was all about anything sweet … and now I think I’m more of a savory girl! This dip looks fantastic – that loading topping???? Awesome awesome.
Thank you Ashley!! I certainly don’t want to every give up sweet things, but my heart is always with salty 🙂
I love all the goodness you’ve packed into this hummus, Izzy — it looks so delicious and colorful! And I need to try some of those chips! 🙂
Thank you Marcie! It is kinda like a meal in itself, haha! And the chips are so good! I’ve been eating so many of them lately 🙂
This hummus dip looks incredible, Izzy! I love how many goodies you packed into here! Sounds fantastic with the chips!
Thank you, Kelly! It is so good with chips!!
It seems to me that none of Udi’s products or recipes are ‘dairy free’ (vegan) which would be necessary for me. Your comments?
Hi Lynne, I have noticed that unfortunately a lot of Udi’s products are not vegan. I don’t follow a strict non-dairy diet so I do eat them occasionally. I know that there are a lot of gluten free vegan crackers out there that are very good though! I’m also working on developing some bread and bun recipes that are both gluten free and vegan, so hopefully it won’t take too long for me to get them right 🙂
I love a good fully-loaded dip and this greek-ified treat looks amaazing! Perfect for sharing with friends at all the summer bbqs!
Me too! Greek flavors are the best! Or perfect for eating all for yourself, haha 🙂
I didn’t know Udi’s made a chip! I love their gluten free bread. Can’t wait to give them a try. And this hummus! Yum!
They are so good, Natalie! They seem like a mix between a cracker and a chip! I’ve been eating them like crazy lately 🙂
Uhm, this dip looks incredible. Anything with artichokes and kalamata olives and I’m sold. I seriously want to make this like RIGHT THIS SECOND!! Those chips look good too… I’ll have to keep an eye out for them!
Thanks Jess! Me too! I just finished off my last batch and am now wanting to make more 🙂
I love your hummus dip Izzy! SO many wonderful ingredients packed in there. Will have to check out these Udi’s crips, I think the aged cheddar are the ones for me.. 🙂
Thank you, Sneha! The aged cheddar ones are so good!!
Salty, crunchy anything is always what I’ll run to (though dipping chips in fudgy frosting sounds pretty good). I normally like to top my hummus with chopped olives, but loading it up with the works ala Greek salad just sounds perfect.
Doesn’t it?! Now all I want is some chips and frosting! Chopped chives sounds so good too! Pretty much anything on hummus is good with me 🙂
This dip looks awesome! Love all the additions to it and all the wonderful colors. It must pair beautifully with the chips 🙂
Thank you! It goes so well with chips 🙂
I”m definitely an equal opportunist when it comes to sweet and salty snacks…but I am a goner when it comes to hummus. I love the stuff SO MUCH. This loaded version is like…my ultimate.
Haha, that isn’t a bad way to be at all! Me too! Hummus always gets me!
Hummus is my absolute favorite! I’ve made it several times and just can’t seem to get enough. This loaded version sounds amazing, Izzy! I don’t think I could be trusted around this!
Mine too, Gayle! I eat so much of it! I had to make myself step away from the hummus bowl a few times 🙂
I love your hummus dip Izzy! SO many wonderful ingredients packed in there. Will have to check out these Udi’s crips, I think the aged cheddar are the ones for me =) I really appreciate how they they non-GMO corn, that’s really important to me as well.
yumm I looove hummus!!!

Me too!!
My husband would love me if I made this. Definitely going on the list. Love all the goods you’ve loaded on top. 🙂
Haha! Sometimes I wish my husband loved hummus more, but then sometimes I don’t because it means I can eat it all myself 🙂
Izzy, this looks incredible. Why have I never thought to put feta and olive on my hummus? I am loving all the flavours. I have added this to my tweet schedule 🙂
Thank you, Dannii! I know, right?! I’m always putting feta in my hummus from now on 🙂
I cannot resist a good salty chip/cracker/crunchy anything, either! And this is one serious bowl of hummus…Looks amazing!
They just call my name all the time and I can’t say no to crunchy things! Thanks Denise 🙂
