Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 cup avocado hummus
- 1 cup sliced cucumbers
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: whole grain bread, avocado hummus, sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, spinach, salt, and pepper.
- Toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado hummus if you haven't done so already. You can use store-bought hummus or make your own by blending ripe avocados with chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of avocado hummus on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor.
- On two of the slices, layer the sliced cucumbers evenly over the hummus, followed by the shredded carrots and a handful of fresh spinach. Feel free to add more vegetables if desired.
- Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the vegetables to enhance their flavor.
- Top the loaded vegetable slices with the remaining slices of bread, hummus side down, to create two sandwiches.
- Press down gently on the sandwiches to help them hold together, then cut them in half diagonally for easier handling.
- Serve immediately with a side of your choice, or wrap them up for a delicious on-the-go meal.
Tips
- Toast your bread to golden perfection for that essential crispy texture—watch it closely to prevent burning.
- Use fresh, high-quality vegetables for maximum flavor and nutritional punch.
- For extra creaminess, spread the avocado hummus generously and edge-to-edge.
- Feel free to customize with additional vegetables like sliced bell peppers or radishes.
- If preparing in advance, keep wet ingredients separate until just before serving to prevent soggy bread.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a sprinkle of hemp seeds or a slice of grilled tofu.
- Experiment with different hummus flavors to keep the sandwich exciting and varied.
