Description
A delicious and creamy Greek style loaded hummus topped with fresh vegetables and feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon extra olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water. Blend until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Evenly sprinkle the diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and crumbled feta cheese on top of the hummus.
- Drizzle the extra olive oil over the toppings and garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve with pita chips, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of hot sauce to the hummus before blending.
- Substitute the feta cheese with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan version, or add roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
