Ingredients

Hummus

  • 2-4 cloves garlic, grated, depending on your taste
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas (reserve the liquid in the can)
  • 1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste or 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Toppings

  • 1 small zucchini, sliced thinly or diced
  • 1 small summer squash, sliced thinly or diced
  • 1 peach or nectarine, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ear sweet corn, kernels removed from the cob
  • 1 handful watercress, spinach, or arugula
  • Fresh basil and/or mint
  • Crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup toasted pepitas
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the hummus: To the bowl of a food processor, add the grated garlic, lemon juice, and chickpeas. Pulse until the ingredients are finely ground, creating a coarse mixture. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved chickpea liquid, the tahini, and the miso paste or salt. Pulse continuously for 3-5 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth. With the processor running, slowly stream in additional chickpea liquid one tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice as desired.
  2. Prepare the toppings: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced or diced zucchini, summer squash, peach or nectarine slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh sweet corn kernels. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat and blend the flavors.
  3. Assemble the dish: Spoon the creamy hummus into a serving bowl. Drizzle the top with extra virgin olive oil. Arrange the fresh vegetable and fruit mixture over the hummus. Add a handful of fresh greens like watercress, spinach, or arugula, along with fresh herbs such as basil and/or mint. Finally, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, toasted pepitas, toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve alongside pita chips and additional fresh vegetables for dipping and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust garlic quantity to taste depending on your preference for pungency.
  • If a smoother hummus is preferred, peel the chickpeas before processing.
  • White miso paste can be replaced with kosher salt if desired.
  • To toast pepitas and sesame seeds, place them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly golden.
  • This hummus is best served fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to swap fresh vegetables and fruits depending on seasonal availability.
