Fusion Mediterranean-Inspired Hummus Board



Vegetarian & Gluten Free
  
What you’ll need:

    1 Tbsp. Hermanita Guacamole Mix (or to taste)
    8-12 ounces of hummus
    4 Tbsp. Crumbled Feta Cheese
    2 Tbsp. Diced Tomatoes
    2 Tbsp. Diced Cucumbers
    2 Tbsp. Diced Red Onion
    2 Tbsp. Kalamata Olives (whole is fine, but dice into smaller bites if desired)
    Pita Bread (or gluten free equivalent)
   
  Directions:

    1. Spread an even layer of hummus over your board of choice (a charcuterie board looks great, but go with a plate if     you don't have one).
    2. Sprinkle feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion and olives evenly over the hummus.

    *Chef's Tip: Aim to spread about a 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch of the hummus across the board to get a decent amount when dipping with bread, chips, or crackers.
