Prep Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: Serves 10-12

instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables
Julienne all vegetables into thin, even strips for a clean, uniform look.
If desired, lightly blanch asparagus and broccolini for 1–2 minutes, then transfer to ice water to keep them vibrant. Pat dry thoroughly.

Ingredients:

1 container Ithaca Beet Hummus
1 container Ithaca Olive Oil & Sea Salt Hummus
Rainbow carrots, julienned
Asparagus, julienned
Broccolini, julienned
Mini cucumbers, julienned
Microgreens
Edible flowers
Fresh basil leaves
Extra virgin olive oil (for finishing)
Flaky sea salt

2. Build the Hummus Base
On a large round board or platter, spread Ithaca Olive Oil & Sea Salt Hummus in a circular base.
Layer Ithaca Beet Hummus over part of it or into the center, creating soft, natural contrast without fully mixing.

3. Shape the Board
Arrange julienned vegetables around the hummus in sections, like slices of a pizza.
Lay them in loose bundles or directional lines to enhance the circular shape and keep the presentation structured.

4. Garnish
Scatter microgreens over the hummus and lightly throughout the board.
Finish with edible flowers and torn basil leaves.

5. Finish
Drizzle olive oil over the hummus and finish with flaky sea salt just before serving.

Dom’s Tip:

keep the cuts consistent.
uniform julienned vegetables elevate the entire board visually — it’s a small detail that makes the difference between casual and composed.
