    • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  2. Assemble the loaded hummus:
    • Spread the hummus onto a large serving plate or shallow bowl, creating swirls with the back of a spoon.
    • Top with the diced tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and crumbled feta.
    • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and dill, then drizzle with olive oil.
    • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or sumac for extra color and flavor if desired.
  3. Serve:

    • Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days (add fresh toppings before serving if making ahead).

Notes
