- 1/4 cup water as needed

Instructions
Salad
- Chop and dice all ingredients into a large bowl of your choice. Wood is the Mediterranean way! Mix the ingredients until you see a rainbow salad appear before your eyes!
Dressing
- Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender. I am using a Vitamix. If you do not want your hummus to have a green tint, peel it before you blend it. After it's blended, pour your hummus onto your salad or use it as a side dipping sauce and savor!
- Note from Roy: This is a big salad, so you may want to store the dressing in a bottle and apply to individual portions. I find this helps keep the salad fresh and crunchy.
