Why You’ll Love These Refreshing Vegetarian Sandwiches
- They’re easy to make – I love sandwiches because they’re so quick and easy to throw together. There’s no cooking involved, and you can layer on as many toppings as you like. These vegetarian sandwiches only require a few ingredients, but they will absolutely fill you up.
- They’re great for an al fresco meal – We’re not out of winter yet, but we are starting to see some warmer days, and I love eating outside when I can. Sandwiches always seem like the perfect meal to enjoy outdoors in the fresh air.
- They’re packed with protein and veggies – Each sandwich has about 17 grams of protein (from the hummus and cheese), which is pretty good for a sandwich!
Hummus and Avocado Sandwich Recipe Ingredients
- Bread – I used sourdough bread because I love its taste and texture, but any kind will work. Hummus can make for a messy sandwich, so I recommend using sturdy bread that can withstand it. Gluten-free bread can easily be substituted.
- Hummus – This recipe can use any kind of hummus. I usually have some kind of homemade hummus on hand, but this time, I used store-bought, regular-flavored hummus, and it worked great.
- Avocado – For these sandwiches, you can use sliced avocado or spreadable guacamole. If using plain avocado, I like to add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to give it extra flavor.
- Cheese – Cheese helps bulk these sandwiches up by adding extra protein. I used green chile Monterey jack cheese because I wanted some extra spice, but any kind of cheese will work.
- Cucumber – Cucumber is great in sandwiches because it adds a cool, refreshing bite. You could also use pickles instead for even more flavor.
- Condiments – I used Calabrian chile pasta and Dijon mustard on my sandwich. Both are pretty big flavors, but they help cut the richness of the avocado, cheese, and hummus.
How To Make Hummus and Avocado Sandwiches
- If your bread is not pre-sliced, thinly slice it and toast it in a toaster or a pan on the stovetop. I like to lightly toast my bread in a pan with some butter.
- Lay the bread on a clean, flat surface. Spread Calabrian chili peppers on one slice and Dijon mustard on the other.
- Next, spread the hummus on top of the chili peppers, followed by a few slices of cucumber and cheese.
- I like to add the sliced avocado to the opposite slice of bread (the one with the dijon), mash it with a fork, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Put the sandwich together, press it down a bit, and then carefully cut it in half. Enjoy with a side of chips, fries, or veggies.
