Today I offer you this flatbread with grilled zucchini and hummus, a summer recipe ready in a few minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch, to take to the beach, or to enjoy as a light main dish.
Just a few ingredients, a bit of grilling, and a desire to eat well even in the heat!
It’s too hot to cook: you need simple and light dishes but without sacrificing flavor!
This summer flatbread with hummus and zucchini is one of those clever recipes that is prepared in a few minutes and conquers at the first bite.
Perfect for a light dinner after coming back from the beach or even as a quick break at the office, this flatbread combines the creaminess of hummus with the sweetness of grilled zucchini.
It’s a vegetarian idea that has nothing to envy from richer fillings: it satisfies, is balanced, and rich in Mediterranean flavors.
The hummus, with its base of chickpeas and tahini, adds an exotic and nutritious touch, while the zucchini, simply grilled on the hot plate, add freshness and lightness.
Serve it rolled or folded in half, possibly accompanied by an extra bowl of hummus and a few fresh mint/arugula leaves: it will be a real success!
