Tomato, Avocado, Hummus Melts
with strawberry & arugula salad
We all have exhausting nights when a sandwich is the best dinner we can make. Luckily this one is no ordinary PBJ. Open-faced sandwiches are just more sophisticated, and when you use hummus, you're a real epicure. Top with cheese and melt under your broiler. And while we're still enjoying summer strawberries, let's make this strawberry & arugula salad again.
Ingredients
- Fennel - 1 small bulb, thinly sliced
- Strawberries - 1/2 pint, sliced
- Balsamic vinegar - 1 1/2 Tbsp
- Dijon mustard - 1 tsp
- Olive oil - 3 Tbsp
- Arugula - 6 oz
- Pecans - 1/4 cup
- Ciabatta - 1 loaf ((or other good open-faced melt bread))
- Avocados - 2, sliced
- Tomatoes - 2, sliced
- Hummus - 8 oz

- While sandwiches are heating, whisk together balsamic, mustard, and oil. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
- Toss vinaigrette with fennel, strawberries, arugula, and pecans. Enjoy with your open-faced melt!

We really loved the sandwiches and but did not like the raw fennel in the salad. I could probably substitute some celery instead.
0 HelpfulI only did the sandwiches, but they were yummy. I used my homemade hummus and added some leftover roast beef. The only think I would do differently is add a little more cheese under the avocado to help it adhere a little better...
0 HelpfulThese were incredibly simple to make and extremely tasty. We had leftover french bread baguettes and I used that to make the sandwiches. Yummy!
0 HelpfulMy husband and I LOVED the melts and had it for dinner and lunch the next day. I used a Spicy Avocado hummus that was perfect for the dish. We will definitely be making this again (and again).
