The Ultimate Veggie Sandwich

Thanks to some dear friends of ours, we have this ultimate fresh veggie sandwich recipe to share. Whether it’s packing for a picnic or throwing a quick dinner together at home, this is our go-to sandwich that we eat all the time. Start with two slices of scrumptious whole-grain bread and pile in crisp cucumbers, creamy avocado slices, juicy tomatoes, and fresh greens. Smear one piece of bread with pesto and the other with hummus. A spicy hummus is really great on here if you like heat. You can make your own by adding chilis or sriracha to our oil-free hummus recipe. If you plan to purchase hummus, we like Sabra’s Supremely Spicy Hummus.

This loaded vegetable sandwich is best eaten right after putting it together. While making this sandwich does involve some slicing (you don’t want to cut the avocado ahead of time), preparation is very doable when you’re out and about. I’m pretty sure we were first introduced to this sandwich on a pontoon boat.

Vegan? Omit the pesto or use a vegan version.
Gluten-Free? Be sure to use gluten-free bread.
