Notes

Add-ins and Substitutes

Substitute the rice. You can also make this with another type of grain, like bulgur, quinoa, or farro. Small pasta, like orzo or fusilli, also work.
Add more vegetables. Make these Mediterranean Hummus Bowls with corn, peas, canned artichokes, onion, red pepper, or other veggies.
Substitute another dressing. Change things up by making this bowl with another dressing, such as Balsamic Dressing, Vegan Caesar Dressing, or whatever your favorite is.
Add lentils. Increase the protein in this dish with some cooked lentils. Try it with red, yellow, green, or brown.

How to Store

Store any leftover Mediterranean Hummus Bowls in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. If possible, store the dressing separately as it will last for up to 2 weeks. The hummus bowl will only last for about 2 days as the vegetables loose their juices.
