Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use a different type of hummus?

Yes, any hummus variety works. Plain, roasted garlic or even spicy hummus would be delicious.

How can I make this bowl vegan?

Simply omit the feta cheese and sour cream or use vegan alternatives. The hummus and veggies are already plant-based.

Can I prepare these bowls ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients separately and assemble just before serving to keep the spinach from wilting and the avocado from browning.
