When it's much too hot to cook, don't. Chill out with a no-cook meal, and spend more time at the pool .... Not in the kitchen! Hummus is so much more than a dip for pita bread .... It makes a quick and tasty sandwich or wrap filler too. Don't save this sandwich just for the warm days of summer, the cool crispness makes it perfect anytime of the year! Ingredients:
hummus (ready-made from your favorite market's deli department) |
fresh lemon juice |
fresh ground black pepper |
italian vinaigrette |
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted and sliced |
1 large vine-ripened tomato |
1/2 red onion, sliced thin and separated into rings |
1/2 english cucumber, peeled and sliced thin |
banana pepper, seeded and chopped (to taste) |
4 slices whole wheat sandwich bread |
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled |
bean sprouts |
Directions:
1. Before preparing the sandwich, taste the hummus and if it needs some spark give it a squeeze of lemon juice and some freshly ground pepper.
2. Add the Kalamatas, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and banana peppers to enough vinaigrette to coat the veggies. Set aside.
3. Spread 2 slices of whole grain sandwich bread liberally with hummus; sprinkle with the feta cheese. Top with the veggies mixture and a generous mound of sprouts.
4. Pour on additional vinaigrette to taste, and press the remaining slice of bread on top of sandwich; cut in half.
