How to Make It
Alright, let’s talk about making the Ultimate Hummus Supreme Sandwich, a plant-based delight that’s as easy as it’s tasty. Grab your pumpkin seed (or plain sesame, if you’re feeling classic) bagel and give it a toasty spin. Nothing fancy here—just warm it up until it’s got that perfect crunch on the outside but still soft and chewy inside.
Now, while that bagel is still nice and hot, slather on a generous, thick layer of hummus. Don’t be shy! This is the star of the show, so let it shine and soak into every nook and cranny.
Now comes the fun part—topping it off. Scatter sweet little baby plum tomatoes all over that hummus canvas. They’re like tiny bursts of sunshine, ready to brighten your bite.
Add on those thinly sliced cucumber ribbons for a revitalizing crunch that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. And here’s the little secret weapon: a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar. That touch of sweet tanginess gives this sandwich a cheeky twist, like a surprise party for your mouth.
Layer on some crisp Little Gem lettuce leaves, and you’re basically holding a handheld garden of goodness. Wrap it up or just indulge—this sandwich is ready to impress, no matter how you slice it.
Bonus Tips
- Feeling fancy? Sprinkle some toasted pine nuts or a dash of smoked paprika on your hummus for that “wow, did you make this?” vibe.
- Swap out the bagel for a crunchy pita chip if you’re feeling snacky and want to live on the wild side.
- Double up on the greens and sneak in some fresh mint leaves—because who says sandwiches can’t be a little garden party?
