People gushed about the recipe, with one remarking: "This is such a beautiful idea." Another said: "Wow! This is beautiful hummus. Looks so delicious." And a third added: "I am stealing this idea."

To whip up the recipe yourself, you'll need 500 grams of hummus, a small bunch of finely chopped parsley, some cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and a cucumber.

Method

• Fill a small bowl with hummus and put it in the centre of a serving plate

• Top the hummus with chopped parsley, cherry tomatoes and feta to give it that festive green-and-red look

• Create cucumber strips with a vegetable peeler and place them on top of the hummus so they look like ribbon

• Serve with crackers or toasted bread. Enjoy!
