Lightly crisped flatbread layered with creamy hummus, juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs feels fresh, colorful and satisfying without being heavy.
It’s perfect for warm-weather lunches, casual dinners or sharing with friends on the patio.
My gourmet touch?
A drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top takes the flavors to another level.
Simple ingredients really do shine this time of year.

I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
