Blog posts aren’t always planned. They have been the opposite of planned more times than I can count. I may spend time plotting and planning a recipe only to end up with something that never sees the food blogging light of day.
Other times I have no intention of putting a meal on the blog only to finish and think ā that’s kind of pretty, and darn tasty. In these cases you can find me sprinting through the living room with a plate in hand to the room where I take my photos. I usually mumble something to my husband like ā it will be ready in just a minute – as he waits patiently for dinner.
This sandwich is a perfect example of that. It’s a super simple dinner that you can turn to on a busy night.
You can use any type of hummus you like. I added a link in the recipe for my almond butter hummus as one idea. The veggies are open for experimentation as well. I love this combo, but you might find a few more in your fridge that would dress it up nicely. Feel free to go crazy with the veggies. I have no doubt that it will only make it better.
Hummus Sandwich with Carrot and Cilantro
Makes: 2 servings
You know, I don’t like hummus. I’ve only had the store-bought kind, and it was not so great. But I’m seeing hummus EVERYWHERE, and it just looks so great! I would definitely eat this and come back for more. Maybe I’ll give hummus another try
Love this sandwich!
I just made my almond milk, and the pulp is waiting for me to turn it into almond butter : ).
I shall borrow your idea soon.
I love it when you make something and then it turns out too good NOT to share! Such a great surprise!
Blogging is definitely unpredictable in that sense! I love the sound of these sandwiches though and I’m so glad you shared…totally my kind of meal!
I totally agree on unpredictable blogging. Sometimes I plan this elaborate recipe for my blog then the pictures end up looking dark and unappetizing. I love your photos!
These look so fresh and pretty–well worth stopping to take a photo before digging in. š
Cathleen – Definitely try it again. It took my husband a while to come around to it too. And homemade is so much better than store bought. To me anyway. š
Maria – Thanks!
TasteHongKong – And that is coming up on my list – making my own almond milk and butter!
Emily – I know! Makes the failures more tolerable. š
Joanne – It’s always good to have something that keeps you on your toes. š
Jenn – I have lots of photos like that myself. Thanks!
Deb – Thanks! Definitely a sandwich for spring!
