Ingredients You’ll Need
- Sandwich bread. Good quality bread is key! Sourdough works especially well for these sandwiches. A good quality multigrain bread would also be great. I’m using rosemary sourdough, which was delicious.
- Hummus. Store-bought hummus is just fine for these sandwiches, but if you’re up for making your own, try my roasted garlic hummus, roasted red pepper hummus, dill pickle hummus, roasted jalapeño hummus, or pesto hummus.
- Baby spinach. Feel free to substitute another leafy green, like lettuce or arugla.
- Cucumber.
- Tomato.
- Red onion.
- Pepperoncini. These are those little green peppers sold in jars near the olives and pickles. They’re just a teensy bit spicy and very tangy. You could substitute another type of pickled pepper, or dill pickle slices if you don’t want your sandwiches to have any heat at all.
- Sprouts. I’m using clover sprouts, but other types of small sprouts like broccoli sprouts or radish sprouts would also work.
- Avocado.
- Red wine vinegar.
- Salt and pepper.
How They’re Made
The following is a detailed photo tutorial on how to make this dish. Scroll all the way down if you’d like to skip right to the recipe!
These sandwiches are ridiculously easy.
Simply slather a couple of bread slices with hummus, then layer one of your slices with baby spinach, sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, pepperoncini, sprouts, and avocado. Sprinkle each layer with salt and pepper, and drizzle the veggies with a dash of red wine vinegar before closing up the sandwich.
Tip: Toast your bread to take your hummus and veggie sandwich to a whole new level.
Leftovers & Storage
If you’re making these sandwiches ahead, say for packed lunches, make sure your avocado is super fresh, otherwise it will turn totally brown. Brown avocado is fine to eat, but it might not taste as good and doesn’t look super appetizing. You can also assemble the sandwiches and leave the avocado out until just before serving.
Once made, the sandwiches will keep in airtight containers for about a day.
