Build a Hummus Bowl

Hummus as a meal. Yes, you can.

The cauliflower in the hummus bulks up the base and with the freedom of toppings, you can create the flavors you are craving. A great lunch option or even breakfast! High quality olive oil makes the dish and if you have time, homemade naan puts it over the edge.
