white bean hummus:
- 1 15oz. can white beans (drained & rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- sriracha (optional)
- 2 whole wheat wraps
- 2 cups sprouts
- 5 baby spinach leaves
- 1 avocado
- 5-6 roasted red pepper slices
spread the hummus on wrap. this hummus recipe makes enough for about 4 wraps, so you can keep the extra refrigerated for a few days. you can buy sprouts, or make your own just as easily - read here for miss v's easy sprouting instructions. place sprouts (here with garbanzo, black-eyed peas and green lentils), avocado slices, spinach and roasted red pepper slices on each wrap. roll up and devour with an earth-friendly conscious. :)

YUMMM!! I love hummus!! That wrap sounds so tasty!
I love the magic bullet!
I love your wrappy goodness! Happy Earth day!
YUM! Veggie wraps are the best!
thats a great looking wrap! I knew that cows are fed like crazy before being slaughtered but I didnt know that "over 280 gallons of oil are used to feed a cow before slaughter"
just curious, how so?
those were some of the reasons i decided to become vegan - i wanted to help reduce my impact on the earth (and also for social & animal rights)!
your sprout filled hummus wrap looks deeeelicious! i see those sprouted chickpeas in there. mmmmmmmm!
oh sprouts, my loves...
Excellent for Earth Day!
Thank you so much Miss V! My mum sent me an email and she just loves the book you sent her! You're more than adorable!!!
That looks fabulous! Makes a wonderful lunch! Happy Earth day!
Thank you for the book. A lot of my favorite things are in there...the smell of a new baby..which we got to enjoy thanks to our daughter, Laurie, giving us Payten Amaya, last Oct. Then there are bubble baths, candlelight, and thunderstorms.. It was so kind of you to remember me. Love, Mamafish
Thanks! That's actually where I got the idea. It was sweltering in LA last week, and I wanted a sauce that would do well at room temperature.
Let me know if you make dressing adapted from it. It would be delicious :)
