Ingredients

  • 10 ounce plain hummus container
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons pesto store-bought or homemade

  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons fresh herbs chopped, such as parsley or basil

  • pita chips or crackers for serving

Instructions

  • Spread the 10-ounce container of hummus in an even layer on a platter or large plate.
  • Drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons of pesto over the hummus; optionally use a spoon to gently swirl the pesto into the surface for a marbled effect.
  • Scatter the 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (with some of their oil if desired) evenly over the top.
  • Sprinkle the 1/4 cup crumbled feta and 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs over the hummus.
  • Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil from the sun-dried tomato jar across the top.
  • Serve immediately with pita chips or crackers alongside.

Equipment

  • platter or large plate
  • spoon or small offset spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Notes

  • Use pesto sparingly to taste since it can be strong.
  • Drain excess oil from sun-dried tomatoes if you prefer less oiliness.
  • Fresh herbs can be replaced with any mild fresh green herb.
  • Assemble just before serving for best texture.
