Ingredients

  • 1 garbanzo beans canned (15.5 oz), drained with 1/4 cup liquid reserved
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp tahini
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 2 garlic minced, small cloves
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt , or to taste
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/3 cups Greek yogurt such as Fage, thick, plain
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp parsley finely chopped, fresh
  • 1 Tbsp dill minced fresh
  • 1 cup cucumber English, diced
  • 1 cup grape tomato drain off excess liquid after cutting, or Roma tomatoes, diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add drained garbanzo beans to a food processor along with tahini, lemon juice, 1 clove of garlic, cumin and 1/2 tsp salt. Pulse for about 1 minute then with food processor running slowly pour olive oil and 2 Tbsp of the liquid from the chick peas into the food processor. Hummus should be somewhat thick, but add more of the liquid as needed 1 Tbsp at a time. Spread hummus into an even layer in an 11 by 7-inch or 8 by 8-inch baking dish (at this point chill through if you have time).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl stir together Greek yogurt with parsley, dill and remaining garlic. Dollop mixture over hummus layer in dish and spread into an even layer. Top with cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, feta and onions. Serve with pita chips (serve immediately after sprinkling veggies over top for best results). Store in refrigerator.
  3. *I made a double batch of the hummus so I could save half for later. If you want to do this just double eveything from the garbanzo beans to the olive oil then only use half of it for the dip.
