If you pack a lunch everyday, you know it can quickly turn into a revolving door of staples – turkey sandwich, tuna sandwich, pb&j…the usual. That can get pretty boring. I know – I’m kind of stuck in the revolving door myself right now. Thankfully, The Recipe Redux (a monthly recipe challenge) asked its bloggers to post their favorite easy, healthy lunches so you can get ideas from not just mine – but tons of other home kitchens as well. The challenge prompted me think outside the box a little – and luckily, a quick scan of my fridge revealed a winning combination of flavors: sliced cucumber, carrot sticks, beefsteak tomato, cheese, and hummus. This sandwich is SO good it’s kind of crazy. It’s definitely going into my lunch rotation. I hope it finds its way into yours.

I love sandwiches, and this looks so filling and delicious! I’ll have to add this to my sandwich rotation as well. 🙂
Yay!! So glad to hear it Melanie 🙂
A great lunch idea!
Thank you Cindy!
LOADED HUMMUS & VEGGIE SANDWICH looks very delicious and healthy! I will try it this weekend. Oh wait, what really concerns me more and more is the WATER QUALITY in OC cities. Horrible chemicals in our tap water.
I checked my city ( Aliso Viejo) and found Fluoride is added. Uggh.
If you want to check your city, Google your local water quality report . I used this site, it had all of Socal and OC cities listed : http://aqualistic.com/water-quality-in-your-city/
