Who doesn't love a BLT with hearty summer tomatoes and a smearing of mayo?
I'm right there with ya.
but there are also many healthier, more flavorful, and more creative options to make your summer sandwiches slide down a little easier!
Here are a few to try this summer.
hummus
1. Toast bread—the key to a great sammich
2. Spread a layer of homemade hummus (mine is always thicker because I don't add tahini)
3. Layer with fresh greens, crunchy cukes, tomatoes, peppers, and carrots.
4. eat a peach. chop down. :)
Other smearings for you to try...guacamole—what about with a grilled portabello mushroom and sundried tomatoes
greek yogurt—plain flavor tastes just like sour cream... why not try it with a sprinkle of dill or blend of basil on a BLT
smashed banana—on a peanut butter sandwich?! yum!
pesto—straight up pesto. it'd definitely pack a punch on a simple tomato sandwich or roast beef and balsy vin reduction drizzle
What are your favorite sandwich toppings, smearings, or any other tips?
Ooh, nicely done, Bridget! And ironically, I *just* had home made hummus for lunch! Good idea about the tahini, though, I think I'll try that next time :)
