Ingredients you will need :
In this recipe, bread is slathered with creamy hummus and then layered with veggies and pickle. The sandwich you will get is healthy, delicious and satisfying.
- Bread: We like whole grain bread for its fiber boosting benefits. You can use sourdough or sandwich bread too.
- The spreads: We used mashed avocado and hummus both for the sandwich. If you don’t have avocado you can use hummus on both slices. Our favorite hummus is roasted red pepper hummus which can be bought easily from the market. You can use shop bought or make at home. There are many flavors available in the market, you can use according to your taste. I feel regular or roasted red pepper is the best for sandwiches.
- Vegetables : A lot of vegetables can be used as per your taste like lettuce, onions, tomato, grated carrots, olives and so much more. I used cucumbers and tomatoes.
- Pickled Vegetables: They add sweet, salty and tangy flavor to the sandwich and are easily available in market. I used pickled cucumbers and jalapenos but you can used any according to your taste.
- Salad greens : They add a nice crunch to the sandwich. You can use rocket, mixed leafy vegetables, spinach or micro greens. Completely optional!
- Cheese: I didn’t use any but you can add cheese if you prefer.
Tips and Tricks:
Remove excess moisture from the raw vegetables and pickled vegetables by squeezing them in paper towel or clean dish towel. It will prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.
