Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large sweet bell peppers (any color)
- 4 tablespoons Hummus
- 4 slices Turkey or chicken breast slices
- 2 slices Cheddar or provolone cheese slices
- 0.5 piece Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 piece Tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the bell peppers, cucumber, lettuce, and tomato.
2. Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes to create four pepper 'halves' that will serve as the 'bread' for the sandwiches.
3. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus onto the inside of each bell pepper half.
4. Place a slice of turkey or chicken breast inside each of the two bottom pepper halves.
5. Add a slice of cheese on top of the meat layer.
6. Layer thin slices of cucumber and tomato on the cheese. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper for seasoning.
7. Add a leaf of lettuce on top of the tomato and cucumber slices.
8. Carefully place the remaining pepper halves on top to complete the sandwiches, pressing gently to hold the layers together.
9. Secure the sandwiches with toothpicks, if needed, to keep them from sliding apart.
10. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal. Enjoy!
