Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 large English cucumber, sliced into thin rounds or ribbons
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved or whole
  • 1 cup (100 g) snap peas, trimmed
  • 5–6 small radishes, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup (75 g) mixed olives, pitted (optional)
  • A handful of fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Smoked paprika or za’atar, a pinch for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables under cold water.
  2. Peel the carrots and cut into sticks about 3 inches long and ¼ inch thick.
  3. Use a vegetable peeler to create thin cucumber ribbons or slice into rounds about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Slice the bell peppers into long strips, around 3 inches by ½ inch.
  5. Trim snap peas by snapping off the stem ends and removing any stringy bits.
  6. Thinly slice radishes into rounds about ⅛ inch thick.
  7. Spoon about 1 cup of hummus into a small bowl or ramekin. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
  8. Drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil on top of the hummus and sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika or za’atar.
  9. Place the hummus bowl on your serving board towards the center or slightly off-center.
  10. Arrange the prepared veggies around the hummus bowl, grouping similar colors and shapes together.
  11. Scatter cherry tomatoes in clusters and tuck in snap peas for pops of green.
  12. If using olives, serve them in a separate small bowl or scatter a few on the board.
  13. Add fresh parsley or cilantro leaves as a finishing touch.
  14. Fill any gaps with extra veggies or herbs. Optionally, add pita chips or whole-grain crackers on the side.
  15. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Keep veggies as dry as possible to avoid sogginess. Add olive oil and spices to hummus just before serving. If hummus is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of water or lemon juice to loosen. Store cut veggies in airtight containers with a damp paper towel to keep crispness if prepping ahead.
