Hummus is one of the best spreads that can be matched with several veggies to make a great sandwich!. With the abundance of cucumbers and tomatoes this time of year, I always put them on my hummus sandwich!. Hummus also keeps for a long time if you keep it in the fridge!.
I use the following recipe for hummus and like it because the garlic is not overbearing!. I do not like pimento, so I left it out of the recipe when I make the hummus!.
1 15 oz can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini paste (sesame seed paste)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, quartered
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup snipped parsley
1 2 ounce jar diced pimiento drained (1/4 cup)
Place all ingredients except the parsley and pimiento in a food processor!. Cover and process until smooth!. Stir in parsley and pimento, cover and chill 2 to 24 hours!.
Makes 1 2/3 cups or 5 servings
Nutrition per serving:

Ooooh!. I love sandwiches!. I love pesto spreads-- I make them like this:
1 cup fresh basil (or parsley or dill or even spinach)
1/4 cup toasted pignoli (or walnuts or almonds)
1 large clove of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
I put everything but the olive oil in the VitaMix and then stream in the olive oil!. Then taste for salt!.
Pesto can be layered with one of the great hummus recipes above, some roasted red peppers, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and just about anything else!. I love it on a nice chewy/crustry bread!Www@FoodAQ@Com
