Hummus Melt
with broccoli in French vinaigrette
Hummus melts are fast and easily customizable. We love the way the savory hummus complements a topping of creamy, melty cheese. This meal was first featured in May 2013.
Smarts: For an added dimension, use flavored hummus here instead of plain.

This has become a regular for dinner at our house. Everyone loves the chicken, we mix up the sides depending on what we have on hand.
0 HelpfulSubbed bell pepper, broiled the peppers and broccoli for a bit more crunch before assembly. Added some feta crumbles since we had it in the house. Overall, delicious and very easy.
0 HelpfulThis was very good. Just watch out for those toothpicks. We served this with just steamed brocolli. Will definitely make this again.
