For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers. If you're making this salad ahead of time, toss the pasta and vegetables with a little olive oil before adding the hummus to prevent the pasta from absorbing too much moisture and becoming dry. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. The amount of hummus may vary depending on its consistency and your personal preference. For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based feta alternative.
