NUTRITION FACTS

  • Hummus is used in place of butter to reduce the saturated fat content. Hummus also provides a good source of protein.
  • Olives are a great source of healthy fats (monounsaturated); however, they are pickled in brine and contain a high salt content.
  • This open sandwich is a good source of magnesium, Vitamin K and folate (B vitamin)

 

VARIATIONS
