The Pretty Little Hummus Plate

Some dinners don’t need a recipe. They just need a really good spread.

Consider this permission to put your favorite things on a plate and call it dinner. Start with hummus, then add warm pita, crisp vegetables, salty feta, olives, and a lemony chickpea salad. It requires very little effort but still looks like you had a plan.

Perfect for a solo dinner, an impromptu gathering, or any night when cooking feels unnecessarily ambitious.

How to Create Your Hummus Plate

1. Choose your favorite combination of toppings to pair with the hummus, such as pita bread, feta cheese, fresh vegetables, olives, and seasoned chickpeas.
2. Drizzle the hummus with olive oil and add a sprinkle of paprika for extra color and flavor.
3. To make the plate more visually appealing, slice the carrots and cucumbers lengthwise to reveal their colorful interiors. Arrange the vegetables around the hummus, then drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
4. For extra flavor, marinate the feta in olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and cracked black pepper for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
5. You can also create a simple chickpea salad by combining chickpeas with diced red onion, bell peppers, parsley, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
