The Ultimate Veggie Sandwich is a vibrant, hearty, and satisfying meatless meal packed with fresh vegetables, creamy spreads, and layers of texture. Perfect for lunch, picnics, or a quick no-cook dinner, this customizable sandwich proves that plant-based meals can be incredibly delicious and filling.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices hearty whole grain bread, sourdough, or ciabatta
  • 2 tbsp hummus or cream cheese (as a spread base)
  • ½ avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 2–3 slices tomato
  • ¼ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers or grilled zucchini
  • ¼ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 2–3 slices red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup sprouts or microgreens
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp vinegar or favorite sandwich dressing

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread if desired for extra crunch and structure.
  2. Spread a generous layer of hummus or cream cheese on both slices of bread.
  3. Layer avocado, then stack tomato, cucumber, roasted red peppers, shredded carrots, spinach, and red onion.
  4. Add a handful of sprouts or microgreens on top.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar or your preferred sandwich dressing.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Press the sandwich gently, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap hummus for pesto, baba ganoush, or chipotle mayo for variety.
  • Add grilled eggplant, pickled onions, or feta/goat cheese for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Include sliced radishes or roasted chickpeas for extra crunch.
  • Make it a wrap using a large tortilla or lavash.
  • To prevent sogginess when packing, place wetter ingredients in the middle and keep spreads away from the edges.
