Instructions

  • Make the salad by adding the diced grape tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum and red onion to a medium mixing bowl as well as the chopped parsley. Toss to combine.
  • Add the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, honey and a pinch of salt to a glass jar and place the lid on firmly. Shake vigorously until well combined.
  • Take around ½ cup hummus and spoon it into a bowl, using the bottom side of the spoon to spread it out, taking up about half of the bowl. Add the rocket to the other half of the bowl.
  • Top each bowl with spoonfuls of the salad and then drizzle the salad and rocket with the dressing. Sprinkle paprika over the hummus and salad in each bowl. Serve with a side of warmed pita bread if desired.

Meal Prep Tip

This recipe provides around 6 serves, depending on your appetite. If meal prepping, I recommend dividing between 6 containers and storing the dressing separately to drizzle over the salad on the day of eating so that the salad doesn't go soggy. The salads and hummus store well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
