Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole green bell peppers
- 4 slices sliced deli turkey
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons hummus
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 0.25 small red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly under running water and pat them dry.
Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to create four 'pepper boats'.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus inside each pepper half, ensuring an even coating.
Layer each pepper half with 1 slice of deli turkey and half a slice of cheddar cheese.
Add a layer of baby spinach leaves, followed by a slice of tomato and a few thin slivers of red onion.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the fillings for added flavor.
Carefully close two of the filled pepper halves with the other halves to form a sandwich-like structure.
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for a portable, healthy meal.
