Lunch for One

Hi!!

It's Meghna!! So today I was absolutely starving and had a complete craving for hummus.  I had no hummus on hand but I did have chickpeas!! So I thought why not make some?  I made a paprika hummus, and with that I made a Mint Cucumber Sandwich.  It was amazing, definitely a sandwich that I will make again.  The hummus was super easy to make, it only took 5 minutes plus the time it took to prepare my sandwich. Great lunch and quick, which is ideal when your a college student.
