To Serve
Method
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Prepare and blend
Place the drained chickpeas, tahini, roasted red pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic clove, ground cumin and salt into a food processor. Pulse until mixture is roughly combined.
With the processor running, stream in 2 tablespoons cold water (add more 1 tsp at a time if needed) until the hummus reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Taste and adjust seasoning: add up to 0.25 tsp more salt or another 0.5 tbs lemon juice if desired. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle 0.25 tsp paprika on top.
Tzatziki (Greek Yogurt Cucumber Dip)
Prepare cucumber
Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Place grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze out as much water as possible (this prevents a watery tzatziki). Measure about 1/2 cup drained cucumber.
In a medium bowl combine the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Refrigerate tzatziki for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. If mixture is too thick, stir in up to 1 teaspoon cold water to loosen slightly.
Marinated Olive & Feta Salad
In a small bowl combine the mixed olives and cubed feta.
Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the olives and feta and gently toss to coat, taking care not to break up the feta too much.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
