Salmon and herb cream finger sandwiches:

250g light cream cheese

2 tablespoons dill leaves, finely chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

1/2 lemon, rind finely grated, juiced

16 slices wholemeal bread

400g sliced smoked salmon

Place cream cheese, dill, chives, lemon rind and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Lightly spread 1 side of each piece of bread with cream cheese mixture. Top 8 with salmon. Sandwich with remaining bread. Using a sharp knife, remove crusts and cut each sandwich into 3 fingers. Arrange on a serving plate. Serve.

Black Bean Burgers: 6

1 can black beans, drained

1 small carrot, minced

1/2 onion, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp sesame seeds

1 tbsp ground cumin

1 tbsp fresh oregano

1 tbsp fresh thyme

1 tbsp fresh basil

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cayenne

2 eggs

3/4 cup quick oats

Mash drained black beans (food processor or potato masher work well). Combine with all ingredients except eggs and oats. Once mixed well add eggs until thoroughly mixed (it's really easier to do this by hand even though it's a bit messy). Once mixed add oats (you may need slightly more oats depending on consistency, mixture should hold together fairly well and not be too mushy). Shape into 2-3 inch balls and press flat to form a patty. Place on hot fry pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook until browned on both sides (3-4 minutes per side). Serve on a bun with cheese, on a bed of fresh greens, or let cool and store in fridge for later use.

Notes: You may substitute dried herbs for fresh (1 tbsp fresh = 1 tsp dried). These burgers make a wonderful meat substitute; crumble them on pizza, nachos, or in a salad. You may also vary the ingredients (e.g. add some minced green pepper or minced sweet potato). Be as creative as you wish. Very healthy and low fat. Enjoy and happy eating.

Hummus Sandwiches: 2-3

Spread:

1/2 cup cooked white beans

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp sugar

2 tbsp lemon juice

Filling:

1 cup uncooked assorted vegetables

2 egg whites

1/2 tsp: basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper

2-3 slices of whole wheat bread

Combine white beans, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor. Add additional lemon juice for desired consistency. Set aside. In a greased skillet on low heat, cook vegetables until almost done. Add egg white and spices and continue cooking until mixture is done. Spread some bean mixture over each slice of toasted bread, then add a small portion of egg mixture on top. Serve immediately.

Notes: This is a very healthy and quick meal to make when you're on the go. It can be a protein-filled breakfast or lunch item. You can always substitute any flavoured tortilla with the bean spread and egg mixture.

Enjoy!

This is a bit of a faff on but it tastes delicious. First of all, spread the bread with pesto instead of butter, then add rocket or salad leaves and some sliced cucumber. Put on some thick slices of avocado next and a thin slice of your favourite kind of cheese (if you're not vegan). Finally, add some cress or alfalfa sprouts and the sandwich lid.

This is the basis. You can add whatever else you like, depending on what you've got in the house. It makes a massive thick sandwich but you always feel full after eating it. I make my own pesto because I don't like the jarred stuff so if I've got a bit that needs using up, I make sandwiches like this.
