Build-Your-Own Sandwich By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

An assortment of fillings gives even the fussiest eater a choice. The sandwiches feature hummus made with peanut butter, which gives the spread the same nuttiness as traditional tahini. Leftover hummus makes a quick after-school snack with pitas and vegetable sticks.
