Instructions
 

  • Gather the hummus recipe ingredients.
    A bottle of Pompeian extra virgin olive oil, a jar of Krinos tahini, a can of Goya chickpeas, a lemon, and a garlic bulb sit on a granite countertop. The background is blurred to accentuate these key ingredients for an easy hummus recipe.
  • In a blender or food process, add the tahini with lemon juice first, then blend for 30 seconds.

  • Add 1 can chickpeas with liquid and one without, plus the garlic, and extra virgin olive, season with salt and pepper to taste.
    A can of Goya chickpeas is being poured into a food processor for an easy hummus recipe. The can's label is visible, showing "Chick Peas" and "Garbanzos" text. The food processor contains partially blended chickpeas, and a spoon and knife are also in the frame.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. (About 30 seconds to one minute).

  • Pour into a food safe storage container. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve or make the rice cake flowers.
    A person in a striped blue and white dress stands in front of an open refrigerator, holding a bowl covered with a cloth. They appear to be placing or retrieving something from the fridge, perhaps their latest creation featuring veggie flower decorations. The person's back is to the camera.
  • To make the rice cake flowers, start with one rice cake and spread hummus dip evenly on top.
    A rice cake topped with a spread sits on a white cutting board with a black handle. Decorated with veggie flowers, it showcases an easy hummus recipe. A knife with a black handle is partially visible on an adjacent cutting board in the upper left corner, all on a gray speckled countertop.
  • Depending on the flower, layer sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, baby carrots or radishes in a circle around the rice cake to make the petals.
    A circular slice of cucumber is surrounded by a flower-shaped slice of cheese and thin, overlapping radish slices, arranged to form veggie flower decorations on a gray and white cutting board. The cutting board is placed on a granite countertop.
  • Make the flower centers with cheddar cheese or cucumbers cut in the shape of flowers.
    A colorful assortment of fresh vegetables, rice cakes, and cheese on cutting boards. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, radishes, broccoli, and carrots are arranged artistically like rice cake flowers. A knife and a jar of hummus are also visible, along with a striped cloth underneath.
  • Then top off the centers with small cherry tomatoes or tip of cucumbers.
    A platter of colorful vegetable snacks arranged in floral shapes. Includes sliced radishes, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and yellow tomatoes with a central dip of healthy hummus recipe, rice cake flowers, and fresh parsley. Cheese slices and ingredients are visible in the background.
