Healthy Veggie And Hummus Sandwich
As we step into the new year, full of fresh resolutions and healthier choices, this Veggie and Hummus Sandwich is the perfect ally in your journey. It’s a vibrant blend of crisp, colorful vegetables like cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers, layered with creamy, flavor-packed hummus, all nestled between slices of hearty whole grain bread.
Bread (Whole Grain or Multigrain): Use your favorite bread or feel to make your own bread. Hummus: Adds a creamy and flavorful layer. Make your own or try different flavors or substitute with mashed avocado or a bean spread. Assorted Vegetables (Cucumber, Carrot, Bell Pepper, Avocado, Lettuce): These bring a mix of crispness, sweetness, and creaminess. Feel free to use your favorite veggies like zucchini, radishes, red cabbage, arugula, or spinach to customize your sandwich. Red Onion: Offers a sharp flavor accent. Thinly sliced radishes or chives can be used as milder substitutes. Alfalfa or Broccoli Sprouts: Introduce an earthy flavor and unique texture. Arugula or baby spinach are good alternatives. Seasonings (Salt and Pepper): Experiment with paprika, garlic powder, or other spices for variety.
The foundation of any great sandwich is the bread. Opt for a hearty whole grain or multigrain bread, known for its nutritional benefits and satisfying texture. Sourdough or gluten-free varieties are excellent alternatives. Lightly toasting the bread is also a great idea if you’re looking for a little extra crunch and it also prevents the bread from getting soggy. The hummus adds that flavorful, rich and smooth texture that goes perfectly with all those crisp veggies. Feel free to experiment with different flavors of hummus, such as my red lentil hummus, or my avocado basil dip. Finally, the veggies bring life and color to the sandwich. Layer slices of cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and avocado for a mix of crispness, sweetness, and creaminess. Lettuce adds a fresh crunch, and for an extra zing, include some thinly sliced red onion. I also love adding alfalfa or broccoli sprouts for their unique texture and earthy flavor. Finally, a sprinkle of salt and pepper or your favorite seasonings to bring all these vibrant flavors together. Remember this is your sandwich, your rules!
