We still have tomatoes from the garden and I couldn't be more excited about it! It took forever for them to be ready to eat thanks to a cold start to summer and now, our plants are producing more than we know what to do with. My go-to recipe this year to eat a bunch of tomatoes is bruschetta! To make it a heartier side dish or appetizer, I added a spread of hummus which adds protein and makes it perfectly creamy. These Italian Bruschetta Hummus Toasts are easy to make and full of flavor.

Bruschetta is delicious on chicken, on crispy garlic toasts, on top of a salad or even enjoyed plain as it's own salad. I know that there are quite a few ways to make bruschetta and for mine, I use a mix of the best tomatoes I can find (or grow in this case), fresh basil, shredded Parmesan cheese and tons of garlic. You could also add mozzarella cheese, red onions or a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It's up to you!

What makes this bruschetta even more delicious is the addition of Sabra hummus. It is creamy and rich tasting and compliments the flavorful bruschetta really well. Yes, hummus can be used for all different types of international recipes. We love using it in all kinds of different ways.

Hummus bruschetta
I've been a long time fan of Sabra hummus. We are lucky because it is located at most grocery stores that we shop at. I like lots of the flavors but my very favorite is the pine nut hummus. It is delicious! In this recipe, the hummus helps the bruschetta stay on the toast and the dish a boost of creaminess and protein.
