Ingredients
2 cups hummus (store-bought or homemade)
¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped (optional)
1½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
½ cup sliced cucumbers (about 4 mini cucumbers)
1 small red onion or shallot, peeled and thinly sliced (about ¼ cup)
2–3 pepperoncini peppers, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup olive oil
1–2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, mint, chives, or a mix), plus more for garnish
Sumac or paprika, for sprinkling
Toasted pine nuts, for serving (optional)
Lemon slices or wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a bowl, toss the tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onion, pepperoncini, and garlic with oregano and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Gently mix in the fresh herbs.
Spread the hummus onto a serving platter or shallow bowl.
Spoon the vegetable mixture evenly over the hummus.
Garnish with extra herbs, toasted pine nuts (if using), and a sprinkle of sumac or paprika.
Serve with lemon wedges and pita chips or fresh vegetables.
Notes
Homemade hummus makes this dish extra creamy and flavorful, but a plain store-bought hummus works perfectly for convenience.
Avoid flavored hummus varieties, as the toppings provide plenty of seasoning.
For homemade pita chips: slice pita into wedges, drizzle with olive oil and seasoning, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8 minutes until golden, then cool.
