Green Goddess Hummus Bowl Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 container of Little Sesame Green Goddess Seasonal Hummus ($5.79 at the Coop)
• 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa (or your favorite grain)
• 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced
• 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup of shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
• A drizzle of olive oil
• Fresh lemon juice (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• A handful of mixed greens or arugula (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base: Start by cooking your quinoa or other preferred grain (like brown rice or couscous). It’s the perfect base for this bowl, but feel free to switch it up based on your preferences.

2. Layer the Hummus: In a large bowl, spread a generous layer of Little Sesame Green Goddess Hummus on the bottom. This creamy, seasonal hummus is the star of the dish and gives it that rich, herby flavor everyone loves.

3. Add the Veggies: Layer your cooked quinoa (or grain) on top of the hummus. Then, arrange the cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and red onion around the quinoa. This adds color, crunch, and nutrients!

4. Top it Off: Drizzle a little olive oil over the top, and squeeze a fresh lemon over the bowl for some extra zing. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and fresh parsley to elevate the flavors.

5. Optional Greens: For added freshness, throw in a handful of mixed greens or arugula. This extra layer of greens adds even more flavor and texture!

6. Serve & Enjoy: Grab a spoon, mix it all together, and enjoy the creamy, zesty goodness of the Green Goddess Hummus Bowl!
