Vegan. Serves 2 – 3

I found lunches to be the most difficult adapt in a low-fat vegan diet. This is one of my favourite lunches.

Lebanese bread is a thin, yeasted flatbread, a bit like a larger thinner version of pita bread. This filling also works well on conventional sandwiches.

This recipe is best made with very fresh Lebanese bread. Warm older bread in the oven or microwave before filling

Hommous is a wonderful dip made from chickpeas. If you can’t buy it ready made then make it yourself using the recipe on this site. Hommous is generally vegan safe but read the ingredient list carefully.

The salad ingredients are only a suggestion. Use your imagination or whatever you have available.

Ingredients

2 –3 large lettuce leaves washed and dried
1 large ripe tomato, cut vertically into 9 segments
˝ cucumber sliced
1 medium carrot, peeled and grated (shredded)
thinly sliced red onion
1 – 2 tablespoons of pine nuts (pine kernels, pignoli), or other nuts, toasted
100g hommous
3 pieces Lebanese bread
3 paper napkins

Instructions

Take one piece of Lebanese of Lebanese bread and spread one side liberally with hommous.
Layer a third of the salad ingredients in a strip down the middle of the bread, on top of the hommous, leaving a 1 ˝ inch space at the bottom.
Sprinkle on some toasted pine nuts
Fold the bottom of the bread up over the filling then fold in the sides to make a fairly tight roll. Wrap a folded paper napkin around the bottom of the roll to stop it unrolling.
Repeat with remaining bread
