Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt to taste

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for topping)

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon red onion, finely chopped

A sprinkle of smoked paprika

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding a bit of water if the mixture is too thick for your liking.

    Prepare the Serving Dish: Transfer the hummus to a shallow serving dish or platter, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center for the toppings.

      Layer the Toppings: Start by spooning the Greek yogurt into the center well of the hummus. Next, layer the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced olives around the yogurt.

        Add Feta and Herbs: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top, followed by the chopped parsley and finely chopped red onion for a fresh crunch.

          Finish with Spice: Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for color and flavor.

            Serve: Serve your loaded hummus with pita bread, veggie sticks, or your favorite crackers for dipping.
