It’s
sweltering outside and the last thing you want is a meal hot out of the
oven. This Vegetarian Summer Sandwich will not only keep you cool in
the kitchen, but will also get you out of it in a jiffy, so you can get
back to enjoying those last days of summer.
Kontos Foods,
maker of artisan flatbreads and other ethnic foods, suggests using
Kontos Hummus Flatbread as the base—just throw the flatbread in the
toaster oven for a few minutes and they’re ready to be a delicious
canvas for these healthy, flavorful toppings. Top it off with plenty of
fresh-from-the-garden basil, and another tasty flatbread, and you’ve got
summer in a sandwich.
Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
½ cup roasted red peppers, cut into strips
