- Separately, prepare the salad. Cut into small pieces the cherry tomatoes and cucumber, finely slice the red onion, and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add olive oil, za’atar, salt, and fresh mint and mix well.
- Transfer the hummus to a plate and using the back of a spoon, move in a circular motion from the center of the bowl to the edge.
