Very flavorful! One of the few veggie sandwiches (without cheese melted on it) that I have truly loved! It seems like too much to put the hummus and tapenade on both pieces of bread but do it...it makes for a very moist and delicious sandwich! I made it a second time on pita and it wasn't quite as good.

Oh this was good and so healthy. I made them at first with the tapenade, but wasn't happy with the flavor of the tapenade. Just straight up carrots cucumbers and hummus was great.

Yummy! I used homemade black bean hummus (#113038). I didn't have any tapenade so chopped up a couple kalamata and pimento-stuffed green olives along with a few capers and a dash of chopped garlic and used that in its place. I think I'll try toasting the bread next time for a textural change. Thanks for sharing!
