Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich
A delicious and nutritious sandwich filled with fresh vegetables, creamy hummus, and whole grain bread, embodying the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine.
Ingredients
For the sandwich
- 2 slices Whole grain bread Options include multigrain, sourdough, or seeded breads.
- 2 tbsp Hummus Any flavor like roasted red pepper or garlic can be used.
- 1 cup Fresh mixed vegetables Choices include cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, leafy greens, olives, or artichokes.
- 1 oz Feta cheese Optional; can substitute with tofu feta for a vegan option.
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the whole grain bread.
- Spread a generous amount of hummus on one slice of bread.
- Layer fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and spinach on the hummus-covered slice.
- If desired, add feta cheese for added creaminess.

Notes
For variation, consider using pesto instead of hummus, adding roasted veggies, or including avocado for creaminess. Keeping harder vegetables at the bottom prevents sogginess.
