Name: Hummus roasted pepper sandwiches
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 4 slices whole wheat bread; 0.5 cup refrigerated hummus; 0.5 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained; 0.25 cucumber, thinly sliced; 1 cup baby spinach, washed; 0.125 tsp black pepper

Moisture control makes a better sandwich. Dry the peppers and spinach so the bread stays firm, and avoid stacking cucumber in a thick slippery layer. Choose a hummus flavor you already enjoy. Many hummus products contain sesame; check the label along with wheat and any additional ingredients before serving.
