Tips & Tricks (5)

Vegetable Moisture Management 💧
Pat cucumber and tomatoes completely dry before layering to prevent the dip from becoming watery and maintaining a perfect texture.
Layering Architecture 🏗️
Build layers from bottom to top in order of moisture content - start with thick hummus base, then add drained vegetables to ensure structural integrity.
Feta Crumbling Technique 🧀
Use slightly chilled feta and a fork for uniform, delicate crumbles that distribute evenly across the dip's surface.
Herb Freshness Hack 🌿
Chop fresh mint and dill immediately before serving to maximize aromatic oils and prevent wilting.
Mediterranean Flavor Boosting 🫒
Drizzle high-quality extra-virgin olive oil right before serving to enhance overall flavor profile and add a luxurious finish.
