Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 0.5 whole cucumber
- 1 medium tomato
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 0.25 whole red onion
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to reduce the sodium content.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, black pepper, salt, and water.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. If the hummus is too thick, add additional water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, keeping in mind it's meant to be low sodium.
Step 5
Wash the cucumber, tomato, and lettuce leaves. Slice the cucumber and tomato thinly and the red onion into very thin rings.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous amount of hummus on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 7
Layer the cucumber slices, tomato slices, lettuce leaves, and red onion on two of the hummus-covered bread slices.
Step 8
Top with the remaining bread slices, hummus-side down, to form sandwiches.
Step 9
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
