This appetizer takes almost no time to put it together.  Whip it up in the morning and it will be ready in time for your dinner guests, or the next big game.

8 oz Cream Cheese - Softened
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Cloves Garlic - Crushed
1/2 tsp Fresh Oregano - Chopped
1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme - Chopped
1 tsp Fresh Basil - Chopped
1 c Tomato and Basil Hummus 
1 - 15oz can Chick Peas - Drained and Rinsed
1/3 c Sliced Israeli Cucumbers 
1/3 c Sliced Grape Tomatoes
1/4 c Kalamata Olives - Pitted and Chopped
1/4 c Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/2 tsp Chives - Chopped

In a medium size bowl, add the cream cheese, lemon juice, crushed garlic, oregano, thyme and 1/2 tsp of the basil. Using your hand mixer beat until combined. Spread the mixture, in a even layer, into a serving dish.

In another bowl add the chick peas and hummus.  Stir to combine.  Spread the hummus mixture on top of the cream cheese mixture, leaving a bit of the cream cheese mixture peeking out.

Layer the cumbers next, followed by the tomatoes and then Kalamata olives.  Sprinkle the feta cheese on top. Garnish with the chives and remaining 1/2 tsp of basil.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve with pita chips, veggies sticks or tortilla chips.

Can't find Tomato and Basil Hummus (I get my at Trader Joe's)?  Feel free to sub in your favorite flavor.  Roasted Red Pepper would be amazing too!
