Instructions

Make Diced Veggie Salad: combine all Diced Veggie Salad ingredients in a small bowl. Stir with wooden spoon to distribute ingredients evenly. Set aside.
Make Hummus: add all Hummus ingredients except ground sumac, to food processor bowl. Blend until smooth. Scrape into a bowl, make a shallow well in middle of hummus and add about 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with ground sumac, if using.
Prepare board: Place Diced Veggie Salad bowl and Hummus bowl onto a board. Surround these with the Other Accompaniments listed.

Notes

Make sure your Italian seasoning does not contain salt or fillers, just herbs and spices.
I like to use traditional feta- one that is made with sheep and/or goat’s milk.
In place of the nuts listed, I sometimes get fancy and make the Toasted Nuts from the Moroccan Spiced Salad recipe.
For flavor variation, I sometimes add diced roasted red bell peppers or pesto to the top of the hummus.

Preferred Ingredients:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for non-heated uses): McEvoy Ranch Organic Olive Oils
