Instructions

1. Prepare the hummus

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to one side of a large serving platter or shallow bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, and chopped parsley.

In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, dill, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Spoon onto the opposite side of the platter.

3. Arrange the crackers

Arrange the crackers in a neat line between the two dips to create a visual divide and easy access for dipping.

4. Serve

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
