Mediterranean Glow Bowl
Few words can describe the flavor explosion in these Mediterranean Glow Bowls! Hummus serves as the base, topped with Moroccan spiced meatballs, sweet cherry tomatoes, lightly dressed Israeli cous cous, salty kalamatas, homemade creamy tzatziki and garlic-spiked hummus, fresh and crunchy cucumbers, marinated artichokes, and PICKLES.
