Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups hummus
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 red bell pepper and 1 zucchini into 1/2 inch strips. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

    Spread the 1.5 cups hummus onto a serving plate, creating a swirl with the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Arrange the grilled vegetables over the hummus. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.

  5. 5

    Drizzle with 2 tbsp balsamic glaze. Serve with toasted bread or croutons if desired.
