This Hummus Bowl with Pearl Couscous and Vegetables is loaded with fresh and flavorful ingredients. I used Pesto Hummus so I drew inspiration from a Caprese salad and made a tomato salad with balsamic and basil. I also served with feta cheese crumbles in place of the more traditional mozzarella cheese in a Caprese salad.

This bowl is loaded with a variety of tasty components. You can also add a protein like chicken or beef kebabs if you want to make your bowl heartier! I highly suggest serving with some pita chips or pita bread to scoop up all of those delicious flavors.

Let me show you how to make this easy Hummus Bowl!
