Roasted Red Pepper, Cilantro, and Spinach Sandwich

(from Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, by Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D.)

2 slices Ezekiel bread (or similar whole grain bread)
Hummus
Cilantro, chopped
Roasted red peppers
Spinach

Toast 2 slices of Ezekiel bread, and spread each with lots of hummus.  On bottom slice, top hummus with chopped cilantro.  Arrange roasted red peppers on top of cilantro.  Press a handful of spinach on top of peppers.  Add top slice of toasted bread, press down, and slice. 

Other great combinations to make this sandwich with are:
  • hummus, green onions, sliced tomatoes, and arugula
  • hummus, cucumber slices, chopped cilantro or parsley, roasted red peppers
  • hummus, green onions, cucumber slices, chopped cilantro, sprinkle of paprika
  • hummus, grilled portobello mushroom, chopped cilantro, roasted red peppers, spinach

  1. Do you roast your own red peppers or buy them?

    1. I buy mine from Trader Joe's, but you could make your own if you wanted.
