Hummus
- 1 Can Garbanzo Beans (plus juice)
- ½ Cup Tahini
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 3 tablespoon Lemon Juice (about ½ lemon)
- ⅓-⅔ Cup Garbanzo Bean Juice
- ⅛ tsp Salt
Greek Topping
- ½ Cup Tzatziki
- 1 Medium sized tomato (or ½ cup quartered cherry tomatoes)
- ½ Cup Diced Cucumber
- ¼ Cup Kalamata Olives, chopped
- ¼ Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Dill
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Mint Leaves
Hummus
Add Garbanzo beans and garlic to a food processor and process for about 1-2 minutes until a thick ball forms.
While food processor is going, add tahini, lemon juice and salt.
Keep processor running and slowly add garbanzo bean juice.
Continue to process and continue adding garbanzo juice, salt and lemon juice until it reaches your desired taste and consistency.
Hummus will get slightly thicker as it sits, so you may want to make it a teeny bit thinner than you actually want it to be when you serve it.
Place Hummus in a bowl or serving platter.
Greek Topping
With the back of a spoon, make a little crater in the middle of the Hummus.
Spoon the Tzatziki onto the middle of the hummus.
Place the Cucumber, Tomato, and Olives over the Tzatziki.
Sprinkle the crumbled Feta and Dill and Mint over the top.
Drizzle with olive Oil
Serve with fresh pita, and enjoy!
Notes:
- If you would like to make this ahead of time, just make the Hummus and place it in a sealed container in the fridge. You can store it up to a week in the fridge! Before you serve it, give it a good stir to loosen it up. Add the Greek topping when you are ready to serve!
- To make the silky smoothest hummus, remove the skins from the Garbanzo beans! To do this, pinch each bean lightly and the skin should just slide right off! It takes a few minutes, so don't worry about it if you are in a rush. It does make it smoother, but it is not necessary. It will be delicious either way!
- To make a quick tzatziki, combine ½ cup plain greek yogurt, with 1 tablespoon sour cream, ¼ cup grated cucumber, a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt!
