Description
A flavorful Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich featuring fresh vegetables, creamy hummus, and feta cheese, perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons hummus
- 1/2 zucchini (or cucumber, sliced thin, lengthwise)
- 1 handful of baby spinach
- 1 tomato (small to medium, sliced thin)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons feta or goat cheese crumbles
- 4 to 5 chopped kalamata olives or olive tapenade
- 2 slices whole grain bread (or your favorite bread)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by slicing the zucchini or cucumber thinly lengthwise. Prepare your baby spinach and crumble the cheese, while chopping the tomatoes and olives.
- Spread the Hummus: Generously spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each slice of bread.
- Layer with Zucchini and Tomatoes: Evenly add the zucchini slices on one side of the bread, followed by the thinly sliced tomatoes.
- Top with Olives and Cheese: Sprinkle the kalamata olives or olive tapenade over the tomatoes, and finish with the cheese crumbles.
- Finish with Spinach: Add a handful of fresh baby spinach on top.
- Top and Toast (Optional): If you desire a warm sandwich, heat a skillet over medium heat and butter the outside of the bread lightly. Toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Slice and Serve: Once toasted, remove from the pan, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
The sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but prepped components can last in the fridge for 3-4 days. Don’t skip the olive tapenade for an elevated flavor.
