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.
