Ingredients

Hummus

Toppings

Instructions

  • If you have the time, add chickpeas to a pot of boiling water and boil for 20 minutes to soften the chickpeas even further.
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas and remove the outer chickpea peel.
  • To a food processor, add the chickpeas, tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, cumin and salt and blend together.
  • Add ice cold water a little bit at a time until desired consistency. You may use less than ¼ cup.
  • Blend until smooth and taste for seasoning.
  • Spread hummus onto a wide bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a well in the center.
  • Top hummus with all the toppings, chopped salad, crumbled feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, a good drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of sumac and fresh mint.

Notes

Hummus can easily be made ahead up to a week in advance.
Add the fresh toppings the same day you're planning to serve.
To make the loaded hummus ahead of time, keep the toppings and hummus seperate until you're ready to garnish and serve.
The fresh herbs and chopped salad are the most delicate toppings in this recipe, so keep seperate until the day you're plating and serving.
