Instructions

  • Lightly toast the bread slices if desired. This provides a bit of crunch and prevents the bread from getting soggy.
  • Generously spread hummus on one side of each bread slice.
  • Start by placing lettuce or salad greens on two of the bread slices. Follow with cucumber slices, bell pepper, carrot, avocado, and red onion. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper for seasoning. If using, add sprouts on top.
  • If desired, drizzle a bit of olive oil or lemon juice over the veggies for extra flavor.
  • Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, hummus side down.
  • Cut each sandwich in half and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  1. Bread Choice Matters: Whole grain or multigrain bread not only adds nutritional value but also holds up well with the moist ingredients. For a softer sandwich, you can use white or sourdough bread.
  2. Hummus Varieties: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of hummus to change up the taste of your sandwich. Classic, roasted garlic, or red pepper hummus are all great choices.
  3. Veggie Flexibility: Use any combination of veggies you like or have on hand. This sandwich is great for using up leftover veggies in your fridge.
  4. Toasting is Optional: Toasting the bread adds crunch and prevents sogginess, but if you prefer a softer sandwich, you can skip this step.
  5. Season to Taste: A pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the flavors of your veggies. You can also add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices.
