Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

Salt to taste

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)

Pita chips or fresh veggies for serving

Instructions
 

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated and the hummus is creamy and velvety in texture. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, if necessary.

      Transfer the hummus into a serving dish, smoothing out the surface with a spatula.

        In a small bowl, mix the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese. This mixture will be your loading toppings.

          Spoon the cucumber and tomato mixture generously over the hummus.

            Dollop the Greek yogurt on top and use the back of a spoon to create a swirl effect if desired.

              Drizzle additional olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with chopped parsley and smoked paprika for garnish.

                Serve the Greek Style Loaded Hummus with pita chips and fresh veggies, diving right into that Mediterranean flavor!
