Cucumber Sandwich with Hummus and Herbs

This is a perfect vegetarian meal, whether for lunch alone or with salad for a dinner. I like this open face and have written this accordingly, but you could make it as a traditional sandwich. Serves one.

What you need

  1. 2 slices your favorite whole grain bread or our whole grain bread
  2. Cucumber slices to cover (English cucumbers will need about 6-8 slices per piece of bread)
  3. 4 Tbl Lentil Hummus or Pepper Hummus
  4. Whole leaves from fresh basil, parsley, cilantro, arugula, etc. any or a combination
  5. Kosher salt & black pepper (optional)
  6. Olive oil (optional)

How to make it

  1. Toast the bread if desired
  2. Divide hummus between slices and spread to the edges
  3. Place cucumber slices in a single layer (can overlap slightly)
  4. Sprinkle with salt & pepper if desired (This is about your taste - if the hummus is very salty, you may not need any more seasoning)
  5. Top with fresh herb leaves and drizzle with optional olive oil
