HUMMUS DIP WITH POMEGRANATE & MINT SALSA

This dip is super fresh, flavoursome and really dazzles up your standard hummus. It also take no time at all, which is perfect for when you’re entertaining.

Serves 6-8 as a starter

Ingredients:

• 1 small lebanese cucumber, finely diced

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters

• 1/2 red onion, very finely diced

• 1/2 cup mint, finely chopped

• 1/2 pomegranate, arils removed

• 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted

• 1/2 lemon, juice squeezed

• 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes

• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

• 1.5 tsp ground sumac (optional)

• 2 cups homemade or store bought hummus

• 1 cup Greek or natural yoghurt

Method:

1. For the salsa: Mix together the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, mint, pomegranate and pine nuts. Season well and squeeze over the lemon juice.

2. Mix together the hummus and yoghurt until well combine.

3. To assemble: Spread the hummus/yoghurt out onto a plate or shallow bowl, use the back of a spoon to smooth it out and reach the edges. Top with spoonful’s of the pomegranate salsa in the middle of the plate/bowl and pile it nice and high (you still want to see the hummus on the outside). Squeeze with more lemon juice and serve. You can also dust the top with a little sprinkle of sumac (optional)

Serve with pita chips, toasted baguette, fresh baguette or normal crackers.
