How to Assemble a Flower Hummus Board
Start by putting a large scoop of hummus in the center of the board. Using a spoon, spread the hummus into the shape of a flower.
Create a salami rose and place it in the center of the board.
Add some chick peas around the flower and the salami rose. Add some basil leaves to the board and sprinkle on some paprika. Finish by pouring some olive oil in each petal of the hummus flower.
Serve immediately or put it in the fridge until ready to serve.
