Instructions

Spread Hummus: Spread the 2 cups of hummus evenly on a large platter or plate to create the base layer for your loaded hummus.
Add Fresh Vegetables: Top the hummus base with the diced roma tomato, diced red onion, and diced Persian cucumber, spreading them evenly over the surface for fresh texture and flavor.
Sprinkle Herbs and Olives: Scatter the chopped parsley, Kalamata or green olives, and crumbled feta cheese evenly on top of the vegetables to add savory and briny notes.
Season and Finish: Sprinkle the sumac and Aleppo pepper over the entire dish to introduce a hint of tanginess and mild heat. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the loaded hummus to finish and enhance the richness.

Notes

Use homemade hummus for a richer flavor or a quality store-bought hummus for convenience.
Sumac adds a lemony tang, but if unavailable, lemon zest can be a good substitute.
Adjust Aleppo pepper quantity to control the level of heat based on your preference.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness of the toppings, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Pair with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers for serving.
