Ingredients

• 2 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, lettuce)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup hummus
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Pita bread slices, for serving

Instructions

1. In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion.
2. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
3. Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the veggies are coated with the dressing.
4. Add a generous dollop of hummus in the center of the salad.
5. Serve immediately with slices of fresh pita bread on the side.

Helpful Tips

• Variations: Add roasted chickpeas for extra protein, or sprinkle some feta cheese for a tangy twist.
• Storage: If you have leftovers, store the salad and dressing separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Substitutions: You can use avocado instead of tahini for a different flavor profile. Multigrain or gluten-free pita can be used to cater to dietary preferences.

Pairings

This Hummus and Veggie Salad pairs wonderfully with a light, refreshing drink such as iced mint tea or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside grilled chicken or falafel.
