Mediterranean Bruschetta Hummus Platter

Ingredients

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the Bruschetta:

1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely chopped

¼ cup red onion, minced

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Platter:

1 ½ cups hummus (store-bought or homemade)

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup kalamata olives, sliced

¼ cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped

½ cucumber, sliced into rounds

½ red bell pepper, sliced

½ cup baby carrots

Pita chips or warm pita bread, for serving

Directions

I start by making the bruschetta. In a medium bowl, I mix the chopped cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and a bit of salt and pepper. I let it sit so the flavors can meld.

Next, I spread the hummus in an even layer on a large serving platter or shallow bowl.

I spoon the bruschetta mixture over part of the hummus, giving it a rustic, colorful look.

Then, I scatter the crumbled feta, sliced olives, and chopped artichoke hearts over the top.

Around the edges, I arrange cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, baby carrots, and pita chips or warm pita bread for dipping.

I serve it right away or chill it for a few minutes to let everything come together nicely.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 6 servings and takes just 15 minutes to prepare from start to finish. There’s no cooking involved, which makes it ideal for quick snacks, impromptu guests, or when I don’t want to turn on the oven.

Variations

I sometimes swap the feta for vegan feta or omit it entirely for a dairy-free version.

For extra crunch, I add radishes or snap peas to the veggie spread.

I switch up the hummus flavor—roasted red pepper or garlic hummus gives it a nice twist.

Instead of bruschetta, I top the hummus with a quick cucumber yogurt tzatziki for a Greek spin.

I make it spicy by mixing chili flakes or harissa into the hummus base.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store the components separately to keep everything fresh. The hummus and bruschetta mix can be refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days. The fresh veggies stay crisp if I store them in a sealed container lined with a paper towel. I avoid reheating this dish since it’s meant to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.

FAQs

What type of hummus works best for this platter?

I like using classic hummus, but roasted garlic, red pepper, or lemon varieties also work great. Store-bought or homemade both do the trick.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the components (especially the bruschetta mix and chopped veggies) a few hours in advance. I assemble the platter just before serving to keep everything fresh.

Is this platter gluten-free?

It can be! I serve it with gluten-free pita chips or veggie sticks to keep it completely gluten-free.

Can I add protein to make it a full meal?

Absolutely. I’ve added grilled chicken strips or falafel to the platter for a more filling option.

What other dips can I add?

Sometimes I include baba ganoush, tzatziki, or muhammara alongside the hummus for variety and more dipping choices.

Conclusion

This Mediterranean Bruschetta Hummus Platter is one of those easy, no-fuss recipes that feels special every time I make it. It's fresh, healthy, and packed with bold flavors and textures. Whether I'm hosting a party or just want a beautiful snack board, this one always delivers.
