Do you have a can of chickpeas? Well, you have a quick and easy plant-based meal. Yes, Hummus (pureed chickpeas) is one of the simplest and tastiest plant-based dishes. You can dip it, spread, and mix it in whatever your heart desires. One of my favorite ways to enjoy hummus is on a L.A.T.O (Lettuce, Avocado, Tomato, Onion) Hummus Sandwich!

I don’t eat sandwiches too often, but when I do this satisfies my sandwich craving. What I love about a hummus sandwich is that you can fill it with whatever veggies you like. I love keeping it simple. This sandwich sort of reminds me of a BLT (minus the bacon). But I must say it is 10x better and I don’t get indigestion after eating it. Lol

So, the next time you have a taste for a simple but tasty sandwich, whip up this hummus and have at it!

L. A. T. O. HUMMUS SANDWICH

Instructions
Hummus
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. NOTE: Be sure to reserve at least 2 TBSP of aquafaba (liquid from the can). Add all remaining hummus ingredients to a food processor. Blend all ingredients. Add aquafaba to thin out the hummus. Continue to process until the hummus is smooth.
