California Veggie Sandwich
Hearty enough for an easy dinner, and perfect for a not-so-sad desk lunch–this sandwich uses a whole host of fresh veggies and whole grain bread for an extra kick of protein. Tasty, healthy, filling!
What You’ll Need
2 slices whole grain bread, lightly toasted (I love Dave’s Good Seed for this)
¼ cup farmer’s cheese, cream cheese, or hummus
¼ cup thinly sliced cucumber
¼ cup thinly sliced red or orange bell pepper
¼ cup lettuce or micro greens
1 Tablespoon pickled red onions or beets
½ avocado, sliced
Drizzle of olive oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
How to Make It
Build the sandwich by spreading hummus and/or cheese on both slices of toasted bread. Layer avocado on one slice and press gently with a fork, then drizzle gently with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
Layer the rest of the toppings on the second slice of bread, starting with the peppers and ending with the lettuce/greens.
Sandwich both sides together, inserting one toothpick in each half before cutting. This sandwich gets a little messy, so the toothpicks are essential!
Tips
If you’re taking this to work where you have access to a kitchen, bring the bread and toppings separately and assemble right before eating.
