Can anyone who’s gone to the Mediterranean especially Greece attest that their tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese are the freshest and that they have the most delicious foods you’ve ever tasted? Right!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seriously, every time I would eat a Greek salad, I would moan! Ok back to the platter.

Mediterranean Loaded Hummus Assembly Instructions
Here are the steps that I took:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Spread hummus evenly over a majority of a platter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. On one side of this layer of Hummus, sprinkle a light layer of chopped parsley. ( you can also substitute the parsley with sliced green pepper or even thinly sliced lettuce)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Follow by layering baby tomatoes (if you choose the heirloom variety you’ll get all the pretty reds, yellows, and oranges pictured above.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Layer black and green olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chickpeas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
