  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
  • ¼ cup pickled pepperoncini peppers (or bell peppers, diced)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  • 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.

    Arrange pita chips or sliced pita bread around the platter. Add lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dip.
