Description
A fresh, tangy, and creamy Mediterranean-inspired dip ready in 10 minutes, perfect for last-minute gatherings or poolside snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) hummus (store-bought or homemade, garlic or roasted red pepper flavor preferred)
- ½ cup (75 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup (40 g) Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- ½ medium cucumber (about 100 g), diced
- ½ cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons (about 20 g) red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Pita chips or fresh veggies for dipping
Instructions
- Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion and parsley. Rinse and slice the olives thinly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine hummus, crumbled feta, lemon juice, dried oregano, and black pepper. Stir gently to keep feta chunky.
- Fold in the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, onion, parsley, and olives. Stir just enough to combine without mashing.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the top. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Serve immediately or chill for 10 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve with pita chips, fresh veggies, or toasted bread.
Notes
Use good-quality hummus for best flavor. Fresh lemon juice is essential for brightness. Rinse olives to reduce saltiness. Don’t overmix to keep texture varied. The dip tastes better after chilling for a few hours. Customize with herbs, spices, or extra veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Avoid freezing.
