Instructions
- Thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, radishes and red onion. Make sure the kalamata olives are pitted and slice them in half.
- Spread the hummus on all 4 bread slices and season with zaatar or sumac if desired.
- Add the cucumber, tomatoes (season with salt), radishes, red onions, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil. Top with another piece of bread.
- Slice in half, and enjoy.
Notes
- Choose Fresh, Crunchy Vegetables: Freshness is key to enhancing the overall texture and flavor of the sandwich. Use crisp vegetables like cucumbers, radishes, and bell peppers, which will complement the creaminess of the hummus. Thinly slice your vegetables for a balanced bite.
- Season Your Tomatoes: Tomatoes can sometimes be bland. Sprinkle a little salt or sumac on them before assembling the sandwich to bring out their natural sweetness and enhance the overall taste.
- Use Flavored Hummus for Variety: Elevate the sandwich by using flavored hummus like roasted red pepper, garlic, or spicy harissa. These flavors can add a new dimension to the sandwich without much extra effort. Homemade hummus, if you have the time, is also a great option for a fresher, richer taste.
- Toast the Bread for Extra Texture: Toasting the bread lightly adds a satisfying crunch, which contrasts well with the creamy hummus and soft vegetables. If you’re using pita or a denser bread like ciabatta, this step can also prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.
- Use your favorite bread: You can use sourdough, pita, khubz Arabi, flatbread, no knead bread or ciabatta for this recipe.
- Incorporate Herbs and Spices: A sprinkle of za'atar, sumac, or even fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can elevate the sandwich with an extra pop of flavor and authenticity. Za'atar, in particular, pairs perfectly with hummus, enhancing its earthy taste.
- Press the Sandwich for Easy Eating: After assembling the sandwich, press it down lightly. This will help the vegetables stay in place and allow the flavors to meld, making it easier to handle without falling apart.
