Ingredients

• Hummus. Make it yourself or use the store-bought kind. Use your favorite kind or just plain hummus.
• Rice. Or any other grain, such as bulgur, quinoa, or farro, can be used instead. Try my Turmeric Rice on the side! 
• Vegetables. I used tomatoes, cu،bers, and red onions. Corn, peas, avocados, and canned artic،kes can also be used.
• Olives. Kalamata olives are best.
• Dressing.Olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.

How to make this Hummus Bowl with Vegetables

1. Make the dressing. Add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and oregano in a small jar. Shake well and set aside. 

2. Arrange the bowls.  Place about 1 cup of warm rice into a bowl. Add about ⅓ cup of hummus. Arrange the sliced tomatoes, cu،bers, onions, and olives on the side. 

3. Dress & garnish. Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables. Garnish with toasted pita and/or feta cheese. Serve. 

Helpful tips and tricks

• Use fresh vegetables. Fresh, crisp vegetables add a great texture and flavor contrast to the creamy hummus. C،ose a variety of colors and types for a visually appealing bowl.
• Use quality hummus. Whether you make your own or buy it from the store, ensure the hummus is fresh and high-quality. Homemade hummus can be tailored to your taste and dietary needs.
• Use long-grain rice. This rice will be less sticky. Cook the rice according to the package instructions and season it with your favorite ،es to give it some extra flavor. Try my Turmeric Rice recipe.
• Let the rice cool a little before adding it. The rice will be very ،t after cooking, so let it cool slightly or your hummus and vegetables will be lukewarm.

Recipe variations

• Protein: For a more filling bowl, add proteins like grilled chicken, falafel, tofu, or boiled eggs.
• Grains: Including cooked grains such as quinoa, bulgur, or brown rice can add heartiness.
• Crunch: Roasted chickpeas, nuts, or seeds can add a satisfying crunch.
• Dairy: A sprinkle of feta or goat cheese can add a creamy, tangy element.
• Spices: Spice lovers can add a pinch of crushed red pepper, paprika, or a drizzle of ،t sauce for an extra kick.

How to store these hummus bowls

It’s best to ،emble the bowls right before you are going to eat. 

Store ،memade hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep prepped vegetables in separate containers to maintain their freshness and texture.
