- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2–4 tablespoons cold water (for desired consistency)
For the Board
- 1 large rustic Mediterranean bread loaf (sourdough or country bread), sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives

Instructions
- Prepare the hummus – In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth. Process the mixture for about 1–2 minutes. Add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the hummus becomes creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning by adding extra lemon juice or salt if desired.
- Prepare the bread – Slice the rustic bread into thick slices. Lightly toast in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes if you prefer warm bread.
- Plate the hummus – Spread the hummus into a shallow serving bowl or plate and use the back of a spoon to create small swirls. Drizzle olive oil over the hummus and sprinkle with paprika or sumac and chopped parsley.
- Assemble the board – Arrange the bread slices around the hummus along with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, olives, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and artichoke hearts. Add lemon wedges to the board for serving.
- Serve – Serve immediately for dipping and spreading.
