This hummus board is totally party-ready—quick to throw together, loaded with good stuff, and guaranteed to be a hit.
My friend Kelly brought this hummus board to a party at my house, and it was an instant hit. More than one person said, “Wow, fancy!” before digging in, and it was the first thing to disappear from the table. It’s got all the best things: creamy hummus, a bright cucumber-tomato salad, crispy roasted chickpeas, and a garlicky yogurt sauce to tie it all together.
While the recipe requires a touch more effort than your usual dip, the gorgeous presentation and downright deliciousness make it every bit worth it. Plus, you can save time by using good-quality prepared hummus.
Just a little tip: for truly rich and creamy hummus, skip the generic supermarket varieties and opt for a tub from a reputable Middle Eastern or Greek deli, restaurant, or grocer. Or if you’ve got a bit of time on your hands, my tried-and-true hummus recipe is a breeze to whip up.
“Spectacular appetizer. Sent my guests home with a copy of the recipe. And the homemade hummus was perfect.”
What You’ll Need To Make A Hummus Board

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Roast the chickpeas. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place the chickpeas on the prepared baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chickpeas are golden and crispy, then let them cool.

Step 2: Make the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt.

Step 3: Make the tomato and cucumber salad. In a medium bowl, add the parsley, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, salt, oil, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

Step 4: Assemble the hummus board. Spread the hummus on a serving platter, using the back of a spoon to swirl it nicely. Spoon three-quarters of the tomato-cucumber salad (including the juices) over the hummus. Scatter the roasted chickpeas over the salad. Dollop the yogurt sauce around the top (you may not need all of it). Spoon the remaining salad over top. Serve with pita wedges or pita chips.

Make-Ahead Instructions
The hummus and yogurt sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. The salad can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead of time and stored in the fridge. The chickpeas are best made before serving, but they can be prepared up to 3 hours ahead and stored at room temperature; if necessary, you can crisp them back up by reheating in a 350°F-oven until hot. The hummus board is best assembled right before serving.
