If you’re looking for an easy Mediterranean hummus platter for a party or gathering, this is one of my favorite recipes to make.

I’ve always loved Mediterranean food because the flavors are simple and fresh — olive oil, lemon, herbs, chickpeas, and feta. This homemade hummus platter brings all of those flavors together in a way that’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing.

The base is a smooth, creamy homemade hummus made with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. Then it’s topped with fresh chopped vegetables, olives, feta cheese, and herbs for extra texture and flavor.

It’s a simple appetizer recipe that looks beautiful on the table but takes less than 20 minutes to prepare. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, bringing a dish to a potluck, or planning a Mediterranean-inspired meal, this hummus platter is always a great option.

Mediterranean food is meant to be shared, and this recipe makes it easy.
