Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• whole grain bread or sandwich rolls

• hummus (any flavor I like)

• cucumber slices

• red bell pepper slices

• shredded carrots

• baby spinach or lettuce

• tomato slices

• red onion, thinly sliced

• avocado slices (optional)

• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. I start by spreading a generous layer of hummus on each slice of bread.

2. I layer on the cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, spinach, tomato, and onion.

3. If I’m adding avocado, I place the slices on top and season with a little salt and pepper.

4. I press the sandwich gently together, slice in half, and serve right away.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 sandwich, but I can easily scale it up for more. It usually takes me about 10 minutes to prepare.

Variations

I sometimes use roasted red pepper hummus or garlic hummus for a flavor twist. When I want extra crunch, I add sprouts or pickles. For a heartier version, I tuck in some cheese slices or grilled tofu.

storage/reheating

I like to make this sandwich fresh since the veggies can make the bread soggy. If I need to prep ahead, I store the veggies and bread separately and assemble just before eating. I don’t reheat it, since it’s best served cold.
