Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)

1/2 cup diced cucumbers

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/3 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (or vegan feta)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Pita chips or vegetables for serving

Instructions
 

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cumin if desired. If the hummus is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water to reach your desired consistency.

      Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a well in the center.

        Swirl the Greek yogurt into the hummus, then layer on the diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives.

          Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and parsley on top for a burst of Mediterranean flavor.

            Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with more parsley, if you like.

              Serve immediately with pita chips or fresh veggies for dipping, or refrigerate for later enjoyment.
