This recipe was inspired by the warm weather and wanting something refreshing to go with our grilled chicken! Not only is this side dish very healthy, it also has some added protein from the greek yogurt and the hummus. It is the perfect side to bring to a pick nick or a BBQ. It is cheap, healthy, and everyone will love it!
