Description
A healthy and customizable Veggie & Hummus Sandwich featuring creamy hummus, mashed avocado, and a variety of fresh vegetables, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal or snack.
Ingredients
2 slices of whole-grain bread (preferably a hearty, firm crust bread)
2 Tbsp hummus (regular or flavored)
1/4 ripe avocado, mashed
1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup carrots, shredded or thinly sliced
Handful of leafy greens (e.g., spinach, lettuce, or arugula)
Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice (for avocado to prevent browning)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrots thinly. If using leafy greens, tear them into bite-sized pieces.
- Optionally toast the bread in a toaster or grill for a bit of crunch.
- Mash the avocado and mix in a squeeze of lemon juice. Spread the mashed avocado on one slice of bread. Spread hummus on the other slice.
- Layer the vegetables on top of the hummus, starting with leafy greens, followed by cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Place the avocado-spread slice on top of the veggie-filled slice to form the sandwich. Press lightly to help the layers stick together. Slice and serve immediately.
