For the Topping:

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • ¼ cup pickled pepperoncini peppers (or bell peppers, diced)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese (or plant-based feta for a vegan option)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • Prep the Veggies:
    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and pepperoncini peppers. Toss with olive oil, garlic, oregano, and fresh herbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Assemble the Dip:
    Spread the hummus evenly across a large platter or shallow bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create swoops for olive oil pools.
  • Spoon the prepared veggie mixture over the hummus, letting the juices drizzle over for extra flavor.

    Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, toasted pine nuts, and additional fresh herbs. Dust with paprika, cumin, or sumac for added color and spice.
  • Serve:
    Arrange pita chips or sliced pita bread around the platter. Add lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dip.
