Ingredients

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
  • 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

Instructions

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

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!
