Instructions

Spread the hummus into a uniform layer in a medium serving dish or plate.* Then, create swirls with the back of a spoon, sprinkle smoked paprika over if using, and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, add diced (or crumbled) feta, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, black kalamata olives, green olives, and red onions. Add oregano, salt, pepper, and toss with olive oil.
Garnish the hummus with the Greek salad, and add fresh herbs.** Drizzle more olive oil all over, add freshly ground pepper, and serve with warm pita bread wedges or with pita chips for dipping. Enjoy!
