Made from simple ingredients and flavorful spices, this delicious dip looks like hummus but tastes like 'Cool Ranch Doritos.' While this hummus recipe may be inspired by a beloved chip flavor, there are in fact no actual potato chips used in the recipe. The ranch dressing flavor in fact comes from the combination of onion powder, dried dill and garlic powder, which together mimics the familiar taste of Cool Ranch Doritos. To make the hummus, simply combine chickpeas with water, apple cider vinegar, oil, salt and the spices in a high-speed food processor. You can also add nutritional yeast as well for an added cheesy flavor. With this recipe, you can easily whip up some delicious chip-flavored hummus in mere minutes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Chip-flavored Hummus:** Creating hummus with the taste of popular chip flavors can attract consumers seeking unique and nostalgic flavors in their snacks. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Developing innovative hummus flavors can differentiate brands and attract health-conscious consumers looking for new and exciting snack options. - **Plant-based Foods:** Incorporating chip flavors in plant-based foods like hummus can tap into the growing market of consumers seeking alternative protein sources in their diets. - **Snack Foods:** Introducing chip-flavored hummus can disrupt the traditional snack foods industry by providing a healthier and more versatile alternative to potato chips. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ranch-Flavored Chip Nachos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-notchos.md) - [Meta Chip-Infused Chip Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-dip.md) - [Chip-Flavored Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notmayo-doritos.md) - [Chickpea Tortilla Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chickpea-tortilla-chip.md) - [Flavor Duality Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-flamin-hot-cool-ranch.md) - [Chip-Inspired Snack Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doritos-dips.md) - [Tangy Pickle-Flavored Hummuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lantana-dill-pickle-hummus.md) - [Spicy Onion Hummus Dips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-chili-onion-hummus.md) - [Balsamic Vinegar Hummus Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hummus-chips.md)
