Ingredients

For the Hummus

For Assembly

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • ½ red onion sliced
  • ½ pint Cherry tomatoes quartered
  • ½ English cucumbers sliced
  • 1 cup can chickpeas
  • ½ cup olives pitted
  • Chopped parsley for serving
  • Extra virgin olive oil for serving

Instructions

  • Place chickpeas in a bowl of water and rub them together to peel the skin (optional step, but helps create a creamy texture).
  • Drain the garbanzo beans and transfer them to a food processor. Blend them alone until they become powder-like, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Add the lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves and salt and 2-3 ice cubes, and blend for about 5 minutes until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed by adding more lemon juice or salt.
  • Spoon the hummus onto a plate or bowl, and spread the hummus with the back of a spoon to create swirls.
  • Assemble the remaining ingredients on top of the hummus as desired.
