If you think a BLT can’t get any better, prepare to be pleasantly surprised — mainly because avocado and hummus make EVERYTHING better. Because this lunch takes 5 minutes to prepare, you might even have spare time to catch a catnap, or finally wash your hair. And because this sandwich packs in major amounts of fiber, it will keep you satisfied long after you’ve cleaned your plate.
