Instructions

Make the Hummus: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and continue blending until you reach the desired creamy consistency.
Assemble the Loaded Hummus: Spread the prepared hummus evenly on a serving plate or shallow bowl. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and finely diced red onion. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and sprinkle dried oregano on top. Finally, drizzle with olive oil to add extra richness and flavor.
Serve & Enjoy: Serve the Greek-Style Loaded Hummus immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. This dish works great as a party appetizer or a wholesome, tasty snack.

Notes

For a smoother hummus, peel the chickpeas before blending, although this step is optional.
Adjust lemon juice and salt to taste depending on your preference for tanginess and saltiness.
If desired, substitute kalamata olives with other Mediterranean olives like green or black olives.
To make this recipe vegan, omit the feta cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
