Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup classic or garlic hummus
- 1 cup cooked quinoa, farro, or brown rice (optional)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup English cucumber, diced
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
- 1/2 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup pickled red onions
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Warm pita bread or pita chips, for serving
- 3 tbsp high-quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp sumac or za’atar (optional)
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, sumac or za’atar if using, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
- Divide the hummus evenly between two shallow serving bowls. Use the back of a spoon to spread the hummus across the base of each bowl, creating swirls and a shallow well.
- If using grains, add the cooked quinoa, farro, or brown rice to one side of each bowl. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, chickpeas, and pickled red onions neatly over the hummus.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and fresh mint. Drizzle generously with the lemon-herb vinaigrette and serve immediately with warm pita bread or pita chips.
Notes
Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. This bowl is easily customizable with roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or falafel for extra protein. Serve immediately for the freshest texture.
