Instructions
 

Prepare the Hummus:

  • If the hummus is too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.

    Blend again until fully incorporated.
  • Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle paprika or fresh herbs on top.

Prepare the Platter:

  • Surround the hummus with the olives, feta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, roasted red peppers, pickled vegetables, and artichokes (if using).
  • Place the pita or flatbread wedges around the platter.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh oregano or parsley for a burst of color and extra flavor.
    Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Hummus Variation: For a twist on the classic, try adding roasted garlic or sun-dried tomatoes to your hummus for additional flavor.
  • Olives: Feel free to use a mix of different olives, such as green or black olives, to suit your preference.
  • Cheese Alternatives: If you prefer a vegan platter, use a plant-based feta cheese or skip the cheese entirely.
  • Additional Proteins: For added heartiness, you can include grilled chicken skewers or Greek lamb koftas on the platter.
  • Storage: Leftover hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Other ingredients like fresh veggies and feta should be used within 1-2 days for the best freshness.
