CAPRESE FOCACCIA SANDWICH WITH ALMOND BUTTER SUN-DRIED TOMATO HUMMUS


This sandwich is bursting with flavour thanks to its almond butter-based hummus. Focaccia, with its tender and fluffy texture, is the perfect bread for this recipe. Since the hummus keeps for a few days in the fridge, you can use it to pair with veggies or elevate other sandwiches throughout the week.
Pro tip: Make the hummus in advance to save time and use it in other recipes or snacks!
