INGREDIENTS NOTES:

CUCUMBER:

We have to use the English or seedless cucumber and have to make the uniform slices to make the sandwich; we would also utilize the regular cucumber although it contains more water content.

CAULIFLOWER:

We have to use the roasted or cooked cauliflower to make the hummus and it gives the nutty flavor and it also improves the taste and texture of the dip.

ZUCCHINI:

You can use zucchini instead of cauliflower to make a hummus substitute. It is light & naturally moist which makes it ideal for summer.

TAHINI SAUCE:

We add the tahini sauce which is a paste of sesame seeds and it helps to make the smooth dip and also improves the flavor of the hummus.

OLIVE OIL:

Olive oil provides a silky texture and adds good fats and we can also use the virgin oil for the nice flavor and nutrition.

LEMON JUICE:

We add the lemon juice to make this sandwich tangy and bright and it balances the richness of hummus.

GARLIC:

We would utilize the garlic and also roast the garlic to soften the flavor of this sandwich.

CUMIN:

Cumin enhances the flavor of the hummus and it adds depth and warmth.

SALT:

Salt is added as we like to add flavor to the dish.
