Healthier Mediterranean Nachos

I wanted to make a delicious recipe that would make a great appetizer for parties, especially for the holidays. This recipe combines lots of delicious Mediterranean flavors including tomatoes, homemade hummus, cucumbers, onions, olives and more. It is easy to make and would make a beautiful appetizer to serve to guests.

The homemade hummus is so flavorful as well. This recipe makes a lot so you will have leftovers of it for another snack or meal.

Surprisingly, these crackers stayed amazingly crisp even for leftovers with the hummus and feta baked on. I couldn't believe it since other crackers and chips always get soggy. Even the next day after being stored in the fridge, these were awesome.


I was very happy with how these turned out. I would definitely make them again for a party. If you do not have the time or ingredients to make the hummus, you can use store bought hummus. 

This recipe uses my favorite crackers from Crunchmaster. We have been eating these crackers for years. I love them because they are super crunchy and do not melt in your mouth like some other crackers. These are our favorite with hummus and we go through bags of them so quickly.

These crackers are gluten-free but you really can't tell. I would recommend these for everyone but especially to those who require a gluten-free diet because they are the best. They are made with brown rice flour and different seeds. My favorite is the roasted garlic flavor followed by the original because they are so versatile. I top the original ones with peanut butter, cheese or salsa. The roasted garlic flavor are awesome on their own or with hummus. 

Compared to other crackers, these are pretty low in sodium. A serving size is 16 crackers which I love because a lot of crackers have tiny serving sizes.
