Aja A says:

Hummus is one of my favorite healthy things to snack on when I'm on the go. These are a crowd pleaser for sure as folks who are vegetarian and non-veg alike enjoy. I grilled the bread a bit to give an extra crunch.

Jen the Mighty says:

Classic freshly made hummus with tomatoes and cucumber on bread? Sign me up! I toasted the bread lightly, because I'm a rebel like that, and loved the little bit of extra crunch to give a nice balance to the different textures.
