Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt, to taste

1/4 cup water (adjust for desired consistency)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup cucumber, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Pita bread and veggie sticks, for serving

Instructions
 

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Pulse until the mixture begins to become smooth.

    With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in water until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

      Transfer the hummus to a serving dish, creating a shallow well in the center for toppings.

        In a separate bowl, mix together the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, and sliced olives. Toss lightly with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

          Spoon the vegetable mixture generously over the hummus, allowing it to fill the well.

            Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

              Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top for added richness.
