Sometimes, I over complicate things - Especially when it comes to entertaining and food.

I'm one of those who, when I invite people over for dinner, tends to feel the need to make three different desserts.  You know, just in case someone doesn't like chocolate.  Or lemon.  Or what-have-you.  I want to have a back-up, and then a back-up for the back-up ... and I don't always pick the easiest things to make.

But as I get older, I'm really coming to the realization that great food and great entertaining truly don't have to be complicated.

Sometimes the simplest uncomplicated things are the best.  Especially if it means low-stress party or meal prep.

As I get older, I'm really coming to the realization that great food and great entertaining truly don't have to be complicated.

Like with this Loaded Hummus Dip.  This dip truly couldn't be easier to pull together!

Prep stress level?  ~ none.

Enjoyment level?  ~ Mmmm, mmmm ... always a hit.

Ease?  ~  couldn't be easier.

And an added bonus is that the "loaded" toppings can be changed up to suit your preference.

To whip up a big batch of Loaded Hummus Dip, simply grab a rimmed platter or shallow bowl and load it up with prepared hummus:

You can buy a couple containers of prepared hummus at the grocery store, or make your own hummus if you'd like.  I've shared my favorite hummus recipe below, or use your favorite go-to.

Once the platter is loaded up with a layer of hummus, drizzle on a bit of extra-virgin olive oil:

Then start loading on the toppings ...

Adding Toppings to Loaded Hummus Dip Image

I pile on diced cucumber, grape tomatoes, Feta crumbles, chopped kalamata olives, pepperoncinis, and chopped fresh parsley.

It's a great flavor combination.  But feel free to make your Loaded Hummus Dip with whatever you like.

Once the toppings are all piled on, serve the hummus up with warm pita bread, pita chips, or assorted vegetables for dipping and you've got one fantastic party platter.

Completely delicious, completely stress free, so easy to prepare, and always a hit.  And thankfully, truly uncomplicated.
