1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup water (more if needed)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

Make the Hummus Base: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

    Adjust Texture: With the processor running, add water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. You may need more or less water depending on your preferences.

      Prepare the Toppings: In a small bowl, mix diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped olives, and crumbled feta. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Loaded Hummus: Spread the hummus mixture onto a large serving plate or bowl, creating a shallow well in the center.

          Add Greek Yogurt: Spoon the Greek yogurt into the well of the hummus, creating a lovely contrast in the middle.

            Top with Fresh Ingredients: Evenly layer the cucumber-tomato-olive-feta mixture over the hummus and yogurt.

              Garnish: Sprinkle the top with fresh parsley and a light dusting of smoked paprika for an extra flavor boost and presentation.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Greek Style Loaded Hummus with pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or crackers for dipping.
