Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt, to taste

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup diced cucumbers

Instructions
 

In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    If the hummus is too thick, slowly add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.

      Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed.

        Transfer the hummus to a serving platter or bowl, creating a shallow well in the center.

          Spoon the Greek yogurt into the well and lightly swirl it into the hummus.

            Top the hummus with diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.

              Drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with chopped parsley.

                Serve with warm pita bread or an assortment of fresh vegetables for dipping.
