Panera Bread Power Chicken Hummus Bowl Copycat

Leave a comment

Earlier this week, my mom, sister, baby Jake, and I went down to Michigan City to do some holiday shopping.

Before we hit the outlets, we stopped at Panera to eat so we had enough energy to shop to our hearts content. I usually opt for the B-Green Smoothie at Panera but I decided on the Power Hummus Bowl. Since I don’t eat meat, I asked for avocado instead of chicken & they happily made the change free of charge. It was a great salad & I really enjoyed using the hummus & lemon as the dressing.

After all the holiday food last weekend, I’ve been trying to focus on eating lots of greens & seasonal veggies. This salad is a great way to eat lots of fresh, detoxifying veggies on one plate! I’m eager to see if I like my version of this salad as much as I enjoyed the Panera version.
