• Sun-dried tomato veggie sandwich – Use sun-dried tomato hummus and add a few chopped sundried tomatoes to the sandwich.
• Pesto Mediterranean – Spread a tablespoon of hummus on both sides of the bread before adding the hummus.

After a few hours, the bread may become soggy. Once the sandwich is assembled wrap it tightly and place it in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours.
