Let’s get spooky with this healthy Halloween Hummus Dip loaded with layers of fresh veggies and a fun Greek yogurt spider web!
Quite possibly the most glorious part of this Halloween themed hummus dip is that, aside from being loaded with tasty goodness, it’s insanely easy to make!
Spread hummus in a thin later on a serving platter.
Pipe a creamy Greek yogurt spiderweb in the center.
Surround with chopped veggies and a sprinkle of crumbled feta around the edges.
Top with a few creepy plastic spider rings.
BAM! Your appetizer contribution for your family’s Halloween party is done and ready for faceplantage.
Can I Use Store Bought Hummus for this Dip?
YES! The choice is 100% yours when it comes to whether or not you use your favorite store-bought hummus as a speedy shortcut or whip up your own creamy hummus from scratch.
I usually go back and forth between both homemade and store bought and honestly, both are fantastic options!
Spooky Spider Web Halloween Hummus Dip
Is not the most fun way to scarf your veggies? This loaded hummus dip is surrounded by what’s essential a Greek salad’s worth of goodies including bell peppers, tomatoes, olives, feta, scallions, cucumber, and chopped romaine.
I used Greek yogurt for the spider web but you could also use a creamy Tzatziki sauce or even let some sweet and savory balsamic glaze in on the fun like I do with my Mediterranean Bruschetta Hummus.
Spooky Spider Web Halloween Hummus Dip
Ingredients
- 2 pkg hummus , approx. 2 (10 oz) containers or 2-3 cups homemade
- 3 cups finely chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 cups diced tomato
- 1 cup finely diced bell pepper
- 1 cup chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded) plus extra to taste
- ¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2-1 cup crumbled feta cheese plus extra to taste
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
DELISH DIPPERS
- carrot sticks and/or celery sticks
- thinly sliced bell pepper and/or cucumber
- fluffy fresh pita wedges
- pita chips
Instructions
- Spread hummus in a thin later on a serving platter.
- Finely chop all your veggies.
- Add Greek yogurt (or tzatziki sauce – yum!) to a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner edge to it. Cut the end of the bag and pipe a spiderweb pattern in the center. I start out with a vertical line down the center followed by an intersecting vertical line. Add diagonal lines (almost like your making pie slices) then finish up with the web detail. I find it helps to look at a photo while I pipe the design!
- Now that we have our spooky spider web, surround the hummus with your chopped veggies. First the lettuce, then remaining veggies, then a sprinkling of feta and green onion. You can add as many toppings as you'd like here!
- Top with a few creepy plastic spider rings and your awesome appetizer is complete! Surround with your choice of dippers (crispy pita chips or fluffy fresh pita are my favs) and enjoy!

More Healthy (ish) Halloween Recipes
First up, you have GOT to make my little Frankenstein Halloween Sandwich Wraps omg… they’re just the cutest thing to come out of my kitchen this year and SO much fun for kids and adults alike!
You could even make them as part of a family Halloween party or play date and have everyone decorate their own monster wrap for lunch.
Another favorite is my Halloween Cheese and Crackers which are basically the easiest thing to make ever. All you need are some fun mini cookie cutters, your favorite crackers, and some sliced cheese.
If you’re looking for something to make for dinner before trick-or-treating, my Monster Mash Soup is always a fun one. You can use your favorite soup (butternut, tomato, etc…) and top them with my little rice eyeballs from the post!
Questions & Reviews
Do the chopped veggies ( especially cucumbers ) make it watery around and into the dip.
Scooping out the seeds (the seedy center of the cucumber is most watery) helps immensely! Our dip did not get watery. As an added assurance you could try setting the veggies out to dry a bit extra on paper towels before adding them to the dip. I didn’t dry my veg and they were great with the dip — we make this all the time!
so very creative, love this, thank you!
Thanks, Sabrina!
Yummy! I’m always looking for healthy recipes to offset all the junk food that my kids ingest this season. We LOVE dips. And this is PERFECT for our family to enjoy and adorable too!
I’m all for balancing out that veggie to sugar ratio, haha! Thank you, Lisalia!
