Preparing the Hummus

Begin by rinsing 100 grams of chickpeas and then soaking them overnight. The next day, boil them until soft. In a blender, combine the cooked chickpeas, 30 grams of tahini, 15 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of lemon juice, 2 grams of garlic, and salt to taste. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Adjust the taste with additional lemon juice, salt, or garlic as needed.

Making the Salad

For the salad, wash and dry a mix of greens (lettuce, spinach, etc.) totaling about 50 grams. Chop 50 grams of cherry tomatoes and 30 grams of cucumbers. In a separate bowl, whisk together 15 grams of olive oil, 10 grams of lemon juice, 20 grams of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, finely chopped dill or parsley, and salt and pepper to taste to create the dressing. Toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers with the dressing.

Serving

Plate the hummus generously and serve alongside the dressed mixed greens salad. This dish can be garnished with additional herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for color and flavor. Enjoy your healthy and nutritious meal!
