Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 6 slices whole grain bread
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup hummus
- 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup mixed salad greens
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill Pan: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat to prepare for toasting the sandwiches evenly.
- Prepare Bread Slices: Place the 6 slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface to make assembly easy and organized.
- Spread Hummus: Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly on one side of each bread slice, which will add flavor and help hold the sandwich ingredients together.
- Add Greens: Layer the mixed salad greens on top of 3 slices of the bread, forming the base of the sandwich filling.
- Layer Vegetables: Divide and layer the cucumber slices, red and yellow bell pepper slices, avocado slices, alfalfa sprouts, and red onion slices on the remaining 3 bread slices, creating a colorful and crunchy veggie layer.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Carefully bring the two halves of each sandwich together, matching the hummus sides and veggie layers to form complete sandwiches.
- Grill Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches on the preheated grill pan or skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is toasted and golden brown, and the veggies are slightly softened for optimal flavor.
- Remove and Cool: Remove the sandwiches from the heat and allow them to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
- Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your freshly made veggie sandwiches as a wholesome and tasty meal option.
Notes
- You can customize the sandwich by adding your favorite veggies or substituting hummus with pesto or cream cheese.
- Use gluten-free bread if you need to make the sandwich gluten-free.
- For extra crunch, toast the bread lightly before spreading hummus.
- Serve with a side of chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
