How to make the ultimate veggie sandwich

Featured Ingredients

• Whole grain bread: Your favorite fluffy loaf of bread that is perfect for sandwiches.
• Hummus: Will be the spread for this sammie and hold everything together.
• Fresh veggies: I like sliced radishes and cucumber plus shredded carrots and cabbage.
• Fresh mozzarella: Adds richness and flavor.
• Avocado: Is creamy and rich and will help keep you fuller, longer.
• Greens: Like fresh spinach.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Spread both slices of whole grain bread with hummus.
2. On one slice, stack the radish, cucumber, fresh mozzarella and avocado and sprinkle with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Top with carrots, cabbage and baby spinach.
4. Top with the other slice of whole grain bread.

Recipe Substitutions and Alterations

• For the bread: Use any kind of sandwich bread.
  • You can also swap for lettuce wraps and a tortilla/wrap.
• For the veggies: Use any fresh vegetables you have on hand.
• For the hummus: Any flavor, any brand!
• For the mozzarella: Any sliced cheese will be great for this.
