Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    Start by toasting the slices of whole grain bread to your desired level of crispiness. This will serve as the sturdy base for your pin builder.

  2. 2

    Spread the Hummus

    Once the bread is toasted, evenly spread 1/4 cup of hummus on each slice of bread, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Topping Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it into thin pieces.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Toppings

    Layer the toppings on each slice of hummus-covered bread. Start with a few slices of cucumber, followed by halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.

  3. 5

    Add Fresh Herbs

    Top each slice with a handful of fresh basil leaves for added flavor and color.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Drizzle with Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the assembled pins for an extra burst of flavor.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Cut the assembled pin builder into halves or quarters for easy serving. Arrange on a platter and enjoy!
