Ingredients
For the hummus:
  • 2 cans (30 oz total) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup water (adjust for creaminess)
  • ⅛ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove (or more to taste)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
For the toppings:
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1 ripe tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Kalamata and green olives, sliced
  • Fresh dill, chopped
  • Drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
  1. Blend the chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor until smooth and creamy, scraping down as needed. Add warm water to loosen.
  2. Spread the hummus on a shallow plate. Top with cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta, olives, and dill.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with pita, crackers, or veggie sticks.
Notes
  • Blend the tahini and lemon first until fluffy, and use warm chickpeas, for the creamiest hummus.
  • Store the plain hummus and toppings separately; assemble before serving.
  • Skip the feta to make it vegan.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days (store base and toppings separately). Freeze the plain hummus base up to 3 months.
