  • First, rinse the chickpeas, then place them in a blender. Next, add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. Then, blend until smooth, gradually adding water until you reach a creamy consistency. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
  • After that, wash the vegetables, then cut them into sticks or strips (carrot, cucumber, pepper), so they are easy to dip.
  • Meanwhile, cut the pita into triangles, and lightly toast it in the oven or in a pan.
  • Finally, cube the feta cheese, and prepare the olives and sun dried tomatoes.
  • Serving: In the center of a large platter, pile up the hummus, then drizzle it with a little olive oil. Around it, arrange the fresh vegetables, pita, olives, sun dried tomatoes, and feta cubes so it looks appealing.
