Ingredients
Red Pepper Hummus
- 2 red peppers
- 500 g canned chickpeas
- 1-2 garlic cloves crushed
- ¼ cup tahini
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoon olive oil

- 5 oz cherry tomatoes
- ½ red onion
- 1 cucumber
- ¼ cup capers
- ¼ cup black olives
- 1 tablespoon za'atar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Cut the red peppers in half, and roast them for about 15 minutes or until the skin browns and the pepper is softened. Leave to cool and remove the skin.
- Using a food processor, add the chickpeas, tahini, garlic cloves, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Add the peeled roasted red peppers and blend all the ingredients until you have a smooth hummus. Add a little bit of cold water if it's too thick to get your desired consistency.
- 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.
- Add the Mediterranean Salad to the hummus.
