Mediterranean Hummus Dip Platter

A vibrant and colorful Mediterranean Hummus Dip Platter perfect for sharing, featuring creamy hummus, refreshing tzatziki, and a variety of crunchy vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups hummus (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup tzatziki (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup baby tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Persian cucumbers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, diced
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 tablespoons fresh herbs (basil, mint, dill, etc.), chopped

Instructions

  1. Start with the Hummus and Tzatziki: If you’re making homemade hummus and tzatziki, begin with the hummus. Toss your chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil into a food processor, and blend until smooth. Sprinkle in some salt, and taste! Adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer to a bowl and set it aside. For the tzatziki, mix together your Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Don’t forget to add salt to taste! Place this in another bowl.
  2. Chop the Veggies: Time to slice and dice! Grab a cutting board and start chopping your baby tomatoes and Persian cucumbers into bite-sized pieces. For the cucumbers, I love cutting them into half-moons for easy scooping!
  3. Prepare the Olives and Red Onion: Next, pit and chop your Kalamata olives. A quick food processor blitz works well, but I sometimes like to hand-chop them for a rustic feel. If you haven’t soaked your red onion, do that now, then chop it finely.
  4. Plate It Up: On a large serving platter, start by placing your bowls of hummus and tzatziki. Surround them with your chopped veggies, olives, and crumbled feta, creating a colorful masterpiece.
  5. Drizzle and Garnish: Grab your extra virgin olive oil and drizzle it over the entire platter. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and voilà! Your Mediterranean Hummus Dip Platter is ready to be devoured.
