Ingredients
  • 10 ounces hummus traditional flavor
  • 10 black olives halved
  • 10 cherry tomatoes quartered
  • 1/2 cucumber ucumber small diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
  • 1 Tablespoon reduced fat feta cheese crumbled

  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Servings: servings
Units:
Instructions
  1. To toast pine nuts: Add pine nuts to a skillet (do not add oil) over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Pine nuts are toasted when slightly browned and fragrant.
  2. Evenly cover the surface of a flat serving dish with the hummus. We recommend using the back of a spoon to create a decorative scalloped effect.
  3. Over the top of the hummus, evenly spread the black olives, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and pine nuts.
  4. Sprinkle the parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika evenly over the top.
  5. Divide evenly into 6 servings and serve with your favorite “dipper.” We recommend bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli!
