1. Add all bruschetta ingredients together in a bowl, and toss well to combine. Allow the tomatoes to marinate while you make the hummus.
2. Add all the hummus ingredients to a blender or food processor. Begin by pulsing or blending on low speed, and increase to high speed until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Taste, and add more salt if desired.
3. Add hummus to a bowl. Mix in 1/2 of the bruschetta in with the hummus. Plate the hummus and top with remaining bruschetta. Drizzle on a little extra olive oil, dip your favorite bread, and Mangia!

Quick Chickpea Recipes Anytime

This recipe calls for chickpeas aka garbanzo beans. This are one of my favorite beans – packed with plant-based protein, and are high in fiber and nutrients!’d recommend using a no-salt-added variety to keep the overall sodium content down, so you can control how much sodium is in the dish. Canned chickpeas taste great, so if you are using canned chickpeas, just watch the sodium or added salt content.

I make dried beans in my Instant Pot every week, it’s a great way to save on cost. If you’re a bean fan, then I’d recommend an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker as a way to take your recipes to the next level!
