  • 6-8 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and thinly slice the red bell pepper, chop the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the parsley and green onions if using.
  2. Form the hummus wreath: On a large serving platter, spread the hummus in a circular wreath shape, about 1 inch thick and with a hollow center, creating a festive ring.
  3. Decorate the wreath: Arrange the sliced red bell peppers evenly around the hummus wreath. Then scatter the chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley over the top for color and flavor.
  4. Add optional toppings: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the decorated hummus wreath. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts and chopped green onions on top for added texture and taste.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers for dipping, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow flavors to meld.
