Farmer's Market Hummus Plate

with Crudite & Crispy Amaranth

Bright raw vegetables give a (literal) lift to smooth homemade hummus here, and the kalamata olive vinaigrette adds a touch of acidity. Crisping amaranth is a trick you’re going to want to try again– the cooked grains are transferred to a skillet where they dry out and puff up for a crunchy topping. Just keep shaking the pan until they pop and lighten in color. This dish is held together by the hummus, so spread it around the plate and top with the accoutrements.
