Looking for the perfect dinner idea to support your brain? The Sandwich with Hummus, Roasted Peppers, and Baby Spinach is the essence of the MIND diet at its simplest. The key to success here is combining whole-grain bread, which provides fiber, with plant protein-rich hummus. The addition of spinach provides a dose of folate, while roasted peppers add sweetness and plenty of vitamin C. This Sandwich with Hummus, Roasted Peppers, and Baby Spinach is not just a quick meal, but a true antioxidant bomb. Using jarred peppers makes preparation take literally a few minutes, making it the perfect solution after a hard day. The Sandwich with Hummus, Roasted Peppers, and Baby Spinach tastes best with the addition of crunchy walnuts, which are one of the most important elements of the MIND diet due to their high omega-3 fatty acid content. Remember to choose bread with good ingredients, ideally sourdough rye, to fully enjoy the benefits of this dish.

Chef's Tips

•Choose hummus with the simplest possible ingredients, preferably based on olive oil or rapeseed oil.
•You can add a pinch of chili flakes if you like spicy flavors.
•If you have more time, you can roast the peppers yourself in the oven until soft.
