Lately I've been super busy with my last few months of uni...when life gets a bit crazy good nutrition is especially important, so I wanted to come up with a quick, healthy and delicious recipe that I could make for lunch, when I'm in the middle of seemingly, endless amounts of work.
I made the hummus from white beans, roasted red peppers (the kind from a jar), tomato puree and a few herbs for a rich, flavourful Italian-inspired hummus. It's so simple to make and a large batch can be made at a time, meaning you'll have enough for lunch for the whole week! I then served the hummus up on a toasted ciabatta roll, with tomato, rocket and avocado...for a truly indulgent, and healthy lunch!
This sandwich is so delicious and provides a great balance of nutrients, including protein, iron and fibre from the hummus, vitamins A & C from the peppers and tomato, as well as vitamin K and folate from the rocket, not to mention good fats from the avocado, which aid with absorption of fat soluble vitamins.
