Start by preparing the hummus for the platter, using homemade or store brand hummus like Cava.

Spread a thin layer of hummus on a large tray using an offset spatula.

Choose a variety of fresh vegetables for topping the hummus, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers.

Cut Roma tomatoes into strips, avoiding the seedy middle, and then dice them into small pieces, about a fourth of an inch.

Cut red bell pepper into strips and then dice them into small pieces, similar to the tomatoes.

Slice Japanese cucumbers into thin rounds, then cut them into matchstick pieces and finally into small dice.

Cut a quarter of a red onion into horizontal slices, then dice it following the vertical lines to create small cubes.

Chop Kalamata olives roughly and add them to the platter, along with black olives if desired.

Construct the hummus board by arranging the chopped vegetables on top of the hummus in any order you prefer.
