This sandwich needs no introduction. Who doesn't like hummus or avocados? The pomegranate seeds give some extra bite and a pleasant sweet-sour taste to the dish. In other words: food heaven! Tip: cut the pomegranate in half and tap with the back of the spoon on the back of the pomegranate to easily release the seeds.
