Hummus Sandwich Wrap
Heat a whole wheat tortilla or pita in some olive oil, smear a good amount of hummus to cover the wrap. Smash in some avocado. Layer on shredded carrot, olives (if you like them), lettuce, tomatoes, and some feta cheese or not depending on your taste preference. A good sprinkle of sea salt, pepper and really good quality olive oil are superb to top it all off. Roll it up if you can, and really enjoy the veggie goodness! I use homemade organic hummus as it doesn't contain preservatives. It is really easy to make and tastes so much better that the stuff in tubs. I soak and boil organic beans but if you are in a pinch, pick up a can of organic beans, they are good as well and nutritionally sound.
The great thing about using a wrap and hummus as the base of a sandwich is that you can customize it to include anything you like. Try serving your hummus sandwich with a cup of tomato soup and a fresh green salad. I made beet soup for myself as my family doesn't like beets. I had the organic beet tops (green leafy part) left over and usually toss them into the compost pile. While on Face book, I saw that a friend sauteed them for a meal. I decided to try them. I added them to ricotta stuffed manicotti. They were really good! I washed them well and chopped them finely, added onion and sauteed them with olive oil. I mixed in ricotta cheese and put the mixture in my large piping bag and stuffed the pasta. I put a good layer of Muri Glen organic pasta sauce and some mozzarella cheese on top and into the oven they went. They disappeared pretty quickly, although Vic had to comment that the cheese was pink. I told him that it was the beet greens, he was like "You know I hate beets, not so much because of the taste but the color." My reply was " close your eyes and have a yoga meal.
