Here is a cool and casual sandwich that really satisfies. Make sure to use

a fresh, crusty bread. Any leftover bean spread will keep in the

refrigerator for up to two days.

 

Meal plan: A simple slaw goes well with these sandwiches. Make it before

starting the bean spread. Use packaged coleslaw cabbage (preferably one

that includes some carrot and red cabbage) and dress in a natural low-fat

vinaigrette or ranch dressing. Serve stone-ground tortilla chips and a

spicy salsa with the meal.

 

In food processor, combine bell pepper, olives and scallions. Pulse on and

off several times, until mixture is coarsely chopped into approximately

1/4-inch pieces. Add beans, mayonnaise, lemon juice, cumin and salt, and

pulse on and off until mixture is evenly chopped but still

chunky. Transfer to medium bowl.

 

Let everyone assemble his or her own sandwich as follows: Spread a generous

amount of bean mixture on one slice of bread, top with tomato slices, some

sprouts and another slice of bread.
