Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups hummus (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup cucumber, finely diced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for optional drizzle
- Optional for Serving: Crackers or pita chips, Sliced baguette or mini toasts, Baby carrots and celery sticks
Instructions
- Shape the hummus wreath: On a round serving plate or board, spread hummus into a circular wreath shape. Use a small bowl in the center as a guide if needed, then smooth with the back of a spoon.
- Add toppings: Arrange diced cucumber around the ring, then add halved cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and any extra veggies like radish or olives. Finish with chopped parsley and rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
- Optional drizzle: Add a light drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve: Surround the wreath with crackers, pita chips, or veggie dippers, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Pat chopped veggies dry before placing to prevent watery hummus.
- For more color, try beet hummus or roasted red pepper hummus.
- Assemble up to 2 hours before serving and refrigerate until ready.
- Use rosemary and parsley for realistic “wreath greenery.”
- Keep toppings balanced—avoid overcrowding for best presentation.
