Loaded hummus dip features creamy hummus topped with a fresh mix of diced cucumber, tomato, and mixed olives, finished with crumbled feta, fragrant herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Served with crisp pita chips for scooping — a bright, savory dip bursting with Mediterranean flavor.
This dish makes a great party dip or appetizer, or serve it for dinner like I did. I served with pita chips and some falafel and it was such a fresh and tasty meal. You can make your own hummus, it is easy and I have my favorite recipe posted here. Or if you are in a hurry, which I was, you can use any of the great store bought hummus options. I ended up just placing my falafel on top of the dip and it looked great that way.
I know it isn’t traditional, but serving dip for dinner makes me happy. You can also check out the rest of my appetizer recipes here. Many of them make great dinners too!
I have not had a chance to post much lately as I am still dealing with all the tasks related to my mom’s passing… I am hoping to get back to regular posting soon.
