Ingredients
2 cups hummus
¼ cup pitted and chopped kalamata olives
1½ cups sliced cherry tomatoes
½ cup sliced cucumbers
1 small thinly sliced red onion or shallot
2–3 thinly sliced pepperoncini peppers
1 minced garlic clove
½ teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
1–2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, mint, or chives)
sumac or paprika for sprinkling
toasted pine nuts (optional)
lemon slices or wedges for garnish and serving
Instructions
1-First: toss the vegetables like sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and pepperoncini peppers with the garlic, oregano, and olive oil in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, then mix in the fresh herbs for that extra pop of flavor. This step ensures everything blends well before it hits the hummus base.
2-Next: spread the 2 cups of hummus evenly on a serving platter to form a solid foundation. Top it with your veggie mixture, making sure to distribute it nicely for an appealing look. Finish by garnishing with extra herbs, toasted pine nuts if you like, and a sprinkle of sumac or paprika for color and taste.
3-Serve right away with pita chips and lemon wedges to keep things fresh and zesty.
