Just as the name suggests, this dip features both crunchy and spicy elements. The new hummus starts with a base of [creamy, puréed chickpeas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-jalapeo-hommus) and sesame seeds, all blended with a bit of sunflower oil and sea salt. The whole thing is then topped with a Trader Joe's fan-favorite: Crunchy Chili Onion. This [spicy-savory topping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-chili-hommus) adds savory garlic, aromatic onion, and spicy red chili flavors, as well as a delightful crunchy element. While the new Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus makes the perfect dip for veggies, chips, or pita, it also works well as a sandwich spread. You can even add it on top of a veggie burger for a unique flavor experience.
