Loaded Mediterranean Hummus | Café Phoenicia Copycat Recipe

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese lowers fat while maintaining a creamy texture.

tahini

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: peanut butter

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free and offers a similar consistency.

black olives

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: kalamata olives

Green olives provide a lighter flavor while remaining affordable.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a budget-friendly substitute with a neutral flavor.

Place chickpeas in blender with enough water to blend. You could use the lemon juice for this step for a stiffer hummus and add water/oil later if the hummus is too thick.

Blend chickpeas until smooth.

Add remaining ingredients and blend well.

Taste and adjust garlic and salt as needed.

Top with your favorite toppings or enjoy as is!
