Ingredients

Hummus

  • 10 ounces dried chickpeas
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Loaded Hummus

  • 1 cup chopped cucumbers
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • ½ cup feta crumbles
  • ½ cup sliced olives
  • olive oil
  • 1 ½-2 cups hummus Make your own as I will show, or simply buy it

Instructions

Hummus in the pressure cooker

  • Add the dried chickpeas, water, and salt to the pressure cooker. Seal the lid and set it to cook for 45 minutes. Once it is finished, do the quick release. Drain the chickpeas and add them to 4 cups of ice water.
  • Gently rub the chickpeas between your fingers to release the skins.
  • Skim out the skin from the water and remove.
  • Once you have quite a few out, I wouldn't spend more than 5 minutes on this.
  • Drain and place the chickpeas in a food processor or blender.
  • Add in the olive oil, garlic, and about ½ teaspoon salt. Blend really, really well. Add in more olive oil and salt as needed. That's it! Done!

Loaded hummus

  • Spread your hummus on the serving plate. Top with cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta. Give it a good drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. You can also sprinkle it with paprika if you want.
  • This can easily be made beforehand. Then serving is a breeze.

Notes

  • This recipe can be made ahead of time to make serving a breeze. Make the hummus and store it in an airtight container. Chop your vegetables and store them in a single container or separately. When it's time to assemble, it will only take about 5 minutes to appetizer perfection!
  • Don’t chop the veggies too big otherwise, they will be hard to pick up with chips.
  • Always go with the most fresh-looking produce. If the mini cucumbers are the firmest, go for it! A different kind of tomato catches your eye? Use it! While certain types of each vegetables are frequently used for this type of dip, the entire dish is only as good as the fresh toppings.
  • Get creative- You can always add a spoonful of tzatziki sauce or greek yogurt to your platter for a cool-tasting flavor. Feel free to add a little roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, or sundried tomatoes to your hummus for a smoky taste.
  • Add a sprinkle of green onions or fresh parsley or dill to the top of your dip.
