What you need
- 200 g hummus (homemade or good shop-bought)
- A handful of olives
- Crunchy vegetables: carrot, cucumber, pepper, radishes, chicory leaves
- A few cherry tomatoes
- Pickled vegetables or sauerkraut
- A handful of parsley and mint
- 2 wholemeal flatbreads, or our seeded crackers for gluten-free
- Extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, and a lemon wedge
Putting it together
- Dress the hummus: spread the hummus on a plate, make a swirl with the back of a spoon, sprinkle with sumac or paprika.
- Arrange: cut the vegetables into sticks and arrange everything around the hummus.
- Warm the bread: warm the flatbreads in a dry pan for 30 seconds each side.
- Serve: scatter with herbs and serve with lemon.
Why it's good for you: Chickpeas, tahini, olive oil and raw vegetables make a meal full of fibre, plant protein and healthy fats. Pickles and sauerkraut add a tangy, gut-friendly touch. A perfect lunch when there's no time to cook.
