1 Video | Photo: Cucumber and Tomato Sandwich with Garlic White Bean Hummus Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon
- 2 (15-ounce) cans white beans
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
- 2 large cucumbers, sliced
- 3 Roma tomatoes, sliced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the top off the garlic head and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake until soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Unwrap and allow to cool.
Drain and rinse the beans. (Reserve 1/2 cup beans for the Round 2 Salad recipe.) Put them into a food processor along with 1/4 cup olive oil. Squeeze in the roasted garlic pulp and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Process until smooth and about the consistency of mayonnaise, adding some water if it's too thick. (Reserve 2 tablespoons of the hummus for the Round 2 Salad recipe.)
Spread the hummus on each slice of bread. Top 4 slices of bread with the cucumber and tomato slices and cover with the remaining bread. (Reserve 1/2 of the cucumber and 1/2 tomatoes for the Round 2 Salad recipe.) Cut the sandwiches in half and wrap them well with waxed paper or plastic wrap.

10 Months ago,I gave up Mayonnaise.Tired of reading if Soy was included.{Allergic}.This fits My Needs by replacing the Mayonnaise w/a White Bean style Hummus.I find this refreshingly Light and No ER! I like Mayo,just not "cut" with Soy as so many are now. Just have this "spread" very Cold.Season to Your tastes.Like the Optional Choices given that keep the Beloved Tomato forefront.Fresh Summer Cucumbers too!A delight.Healthier with or w/o Whole Wheat Bread.

Every year I patiently wait for mid summer to arrive with it's plentiful harvest of juicy red tomatoes and crisp cucumbers! Then for weeks I practically live on tomato and cucumber sandwiches. Two slices of hearty oat nut bread (updated from the white I grew up with slathered with mayo topped with thick slices of toms and cucs seasoned with salt and pepper. Although Sandra's recipe is undoubtedly more nutritious you can't beat the "classic" sandwich we all grew up with! The white bean and roasted garlic humus was tasty and I'll use it again just not in that way. Something don't need improving!
