On weeknights, when taking on a complicated recipe feels like an impossible task, we like to keep a collection of healthy recipes that taste delicious but take little time and effort to put together. That’s especially true during hot summer days, as we want to avoid sweating next to a hot stove. Recently, one meal in particular has become a weekly staple for the EatingWell team, and once you try it for yourself, you won’t be able to get enough either.
Our anti-inflammatory hummus bowls are endlessly customizable, take just minutes to put together, and are a hit among our friends and family. We found the perfect bowls to serve them in, and they’re only $5 apiece at Amazon.
Dependable Industries Inc. Melamine Hummus Serving Bowls, Set of 2
Hummus bowls are a total crowd-pleaser, so it’s no surprise they’ve soared to the top of our weeknight repertoires this summer. The recipe is simple: Just spread a thick layer of hummus at the bottom of your bowls, add raw cucumbers and tomatoes as well as broiled, marinated chicken, and top it all off with a lemon-garlic vinaigrette. Best of all, the recipe can be easily adapted to any dietary preference restriction — you can replace the chicken with extra firm tofu, and the cucumbers can be substituted for any crunchy vegetable.
Choosing the right serving vessel is essential for this recipe. These wide, shallow melamine bowls are one of the most versatile items you can stock in your kitchen. Unlike typical bowls, these vessels have a wide surface area, which lets you spread the hummus evenly across the bottom. The shape of the bowls also ensures you can always see exactly what you have on your plate so you can build the perfect bite every time. The shape also allows you to scoop up the hummus with pita bread or a fork without making a huge mess.
This set has two bowls measuring 6.5 inches in diameter, making them perfect for individual entrées or shared appetizers. The bowls are made from shatterproof melamine that’s durable enough to withstand years of wear and tear, and they feature a Mediterranean-inspired pattern that looks great in any kitchen. Best of all, they’re easy to clean by hand, and to simplify things even further, they’re also dishwasher-safe.
Our Chicken Hummus Bowls are packed with a whopping 31 grams of protein and feature inflammation-fighting ingredients like cherry tomatoes and chickpeas. Plus, they take less than 30 minutes to put together. Ready to make yours? These $5 bowls make them easy to eat and look great on the dining table. Head to Amazon today to snag your set.
