Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chickpeas (or one 15 oz can, drained and rinsed)

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, 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 roughly chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Pita bread, for serving

Paprika, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

    Create the Base Layer: Transfer the hummus mixture to a serving platter or bowl, using the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center.

      Add Yogurt: Spoon the Greek yogurt into the well you’ve created in the hummus. Spread it gently to combine slightly with the hummus, but leave some visible for presentation.

        Top with Fresh Ingredients: Start by layering the diced cucumber and cherry tomato halves uniformly over the top of the yogurt. Next, sprinkle the chopped Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese generously across the surface.

          Garnish: Finish with a drizzle of olive oil over the top and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. If desired, add a dash of paprika for an extra touch of color and flavor.

            Serve: Serve immediately with warm pita bread or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Greek Style Loaded Hummus as a dip or a special side dish!
