Description
A Mediterranean Hummus Bowl is a fresh, colorful dish layered with creamy hummus, crunchy vegetables, briny olives, and topped with herbs, grains, and pita. It’s a no-cook, healthy meal that’s both hearty and customizable.
Ingredients
- 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa, couscous, or rice (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley or mint, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- Warm pita bread or pita chips (for serving)
- Optional: roasted chickpeas, artichoke hearts, or grilled chicken
Instructions
- Spread a generous layer of hummus into the base of a shallow bowl or plate.
- Arrange tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, and feta in sections or small piles over the hummus.
- If using grains, spoon them into one side of the bowl.
- Drizzle with olive oil and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or mint.
- Serve immediately with warm pita bread or pita chips for scooping.
Notes
- Use flavored hummus like roasted red pepper or garlic for variety.
- To make it vegan, skip the feta or use a plant-based alternative.
- Assemble just before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.
- Top with grilled chicken, falafel, or roasted chickpeas for added protein.
