Greek hummus dip

DSC_0102Dips are my downfall. I can mostly avoid sweets and typical junk food, but put a dip in my vicinity, and I’m stuffing my face within 30 seconds. My ideal dinner is just a whole bunch of appetizers. We all love hummus at our house, which, in the dip department, is a much healthier alternative to my cravings, especially when I use veggies as my chip.

Then my mom made this dip for us one night, and, ever since, I have a hard time eating just plain hummus. I think it tastes better with the homemade stuff, but if you don’t want to go to that effort, just pick up your favorite hummus at the store – this comes together in about five minutes, looks pretty, and will have everyone fighting over the last bite.

This is endlessly adaptable based on the seasons and what you have on hand. In the middle of winter, I make it without the cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs, but perhaps add some sundried tomatoes and green onions on top instead.
