The other day, I had lunch at this joint called the "Main Squeeze". It's niche is that it's menu is all vegetarian (with the majority being vegan and organic as well) and with most of its produce from local venders. It was wonderful. I ordered their hummus sandwich, which consisted of whole wheat bread, homemade hummus, vegan chipotle mayo, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.
However, although I wish I could afford to buy myself something from this cafe everyday for lunch, being a college student also inhibits my spending money. Fortunately, my pantry had just the right amount of materials to make a mock-hummus sandwich similar to the one I had enjoyed just days before.
For me, I used again whole wheat bread and hummus. Then chopped some slices of yellow onion in there. The variation came in my use of spinach leaves and a slice of provolone cheese. The result, dare I say, is almost equally as delicious (although I plan on buying an avocado since that is my love, second only to hummus).
Featured next to the sandwich is an apricot and a plumcot (plum+apricot). Eating for myself has inspired the addition of either fruit or greek yogurt to almost every meal, it's easy, sweet, and great for you! So with this, let me encourage you to go organic, try new combinations of foods, and give health food a chance. You won't regret it!
