This recipe hit the spot!! We love this sandwich from a coffee shop. I did include sweet peppers as well. I also put a little tomato pesto on the bread because I couldn't find the Tomato Basil Bread. We used a Foccacia instead. Lastly, my Tahini was out of date but I had store bought hummus and processed the cilantro in that!

The sandwich is great, though I used a little less red wine vinegar for the dressing (just my preference--I find it too strong). The hummus is very yummy itself, though I added more oil, garlic, and cilantro for taste.

Very reminiscent of "p-bread". I didn't really change anything, except I did the marinated veggies called for + avocado slices. And I added only half of the salt called for in the hummus. This one is a keeper, great weeknight dinner.

I only made the hummus but it was wonderful! Better than the cilantro hummus I buy at Whole Foods. I used the liquid from the chick peas to thin it out a bit. I served this at a party this last weekend and everyone loved it.

I just made the hummus part of this recipe and it was great! I served it at a party as dip and also made little party breads with it (One loaf of rye party bread--top each slice with hummus, then a slice of cucumber--Mmmmm! I'd make it again!

Found the hummus to be a far too salty. Had to add tahini, oil, lemon juice to cut it. I like the idea, though.

I didn't make the sandwich but I made the Hummus, Boy was it a hit, even with those who didn't know what hummus was and were afraid of the strong scent of the Cilantro. Everyone who tried it really enjoyed it and I didn't change a thing...THIS IS AWESOME

This is the best hummus I have tasted, and I have tried a lot of them. What it needs is a tsp. of olive oil in the end.Loved the sandwich too......5 stars all the way!

This IS really really good. I was a little skeptical with the strong sesame oil and cilantro. I marinated the veggies overnight in the liquid. I did change the hummus recipe and followed my favourite (hummus III from this site), and added cilantro to the batch. I also served it with sprouts on a whole grain pita. Really Great! I will make this again and again. VERY refreshing, perfect for spring/summer veggies.

FROM THE RECIPE MAKER: You may also substitute unmarinaded sliced avocados in the place of cucumbers when in a bind or for a different twist. Messy cook's motto: Recipes are a guideline to discovering what you like best. So learn, practice, experiment, and don't be afraid to make a mess. Happy Cooking!
