GREEK SALAD HUMMUS BOARD



Greek Salad Hummus Board image

This Greek Salad Hummus Board is an unbelievably flavor-packed appetizer + it's SO easy to make! It starts with a base of the creamiest hummus, and ends with loads of fresh herbs, arugula, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, red bell pepper, and cubes of feta cheese. It's refreshing, full of texture, and amazingly delicious with some grilled pita!

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 (15.5 oz) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and peeled*
1/3 cup tahini*
zest of 1/2 a lemon
juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2-4 tablespoons ice water
1 cup arugula
a handful of microgreens*
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving
a squeeze of lemon
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/3 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/3 cup cubed feta
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 of a medium red onion, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped mint, plus extra leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
zest of 1/4-1/2 a lemon
a few pinches of flaky sea salt
grilled pita bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Add chickpeas, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and olive oil to a food processor. Blend until smooth. With the processor running, add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until hummus is super creamy, lighter in color, and thins out a little bit. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Add arugula and microgreens to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and lemon juice and toss to combine.
  • Spread the hummus on a large platter or plate with a slight edge, into about 1/2'' thick layer. Top with the arugula salad. Sprinkle the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta, bell pepper, red onion, mint, and parsley evenly over the arugula and hummus. Zest 1/4-1/2 of a lemon over top, and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle the whole thing with a couple pinches of flaky sea salt and garnish with mint leaves, if desired. Serve with grilled pita bread, pita chips, and your favorite dippers!
