I am making it tomorrow night because it looks really good. I am only 10 years old. I am writing this on my mom’s phone.

Yuuummm! This is a great refreshing summer meal! I used the Curried Roasted Carrot Hummus for the hummus. Very good! I added in cucumber and black olives for some more veggies too. The pickled onion was a very nice finishing flavor.
