Instructions
First we make the hummus. Usually tahini (sesame seed paste) is used in the hummus, but I make a lighter version with yogurt.
Making the hummus
Rinse the chickpeas and put them together with the fresh spinach, yogurt, lemon juice and 2 tbsp olive oil in the cutter or blender. Mix and add a few tablespoons of water if necessary, but make sure you keep a firm puree with structure. (not a flat paste) Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the hummus on a plate.
The toppings
For the toppings, use vegetables according to your own taste. I've used the ones I like with this hummus and which give some extra crunch.
I partly cut the ½ red onion into fine rings and partly shredded it. I do this to have different structures, which presents nicer.
Cut the radishes and cucumber into fine slices, you can then halve the cucumber slices.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into parts. Chop the parsley finely.
Place the various chopped vegetables and the olives on the hummus and drizzle with the olive oil. Finish with the sweet paprika, some sesame seeds and chopped parsley.
Notes
A fresh green dip or tapas, full of flavor and provided with extra vegetables. Vary to your own taste and you can make a delicious appetizer in no time.
