Description

Enjoy a fresh and flavorful Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich inspired by Panera, featuring layers of creamy hummus, tangy feta, and crisp, vibrant vegetables between whole wheat bread slices. Ready in just 10 minutes, this easy-to-make sandwich is perfect for a satisfying and healthy meal.


Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • ½ cup arugula
  • 1 roma tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 mini cucumber, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup hummus
  • ⅛ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tofu feta or regular feta cheese
  • ½ roasted red pepper, thinly sliced


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly slice the roma tomato, mini cucumber, red onion, and roasted red pepper. Set all the sliced vegetables aside so they are ready for assembly.
  2. Spread the Hummus: Take one slice of whole wheat bread and evenly spread the ¼ cup of hummus over its surface. This will add a creamy base to your sandwich.
  3. Add the Feta: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of tofu feta or regular feta cheese on top of the hummus layer to introduce a tangy, salty flavor that complements the vegetables.
  4. Layer the Vegetables: Sequentially place the sliced red onion, roasted red pepper, cucumber, and tomato over the feta layer. This layering builds texture and diverse tastes.
  5. Add the Greens: Top the layered vegetables with ½ cup of fresh arugula to add a slightly peppery, crisp contrast to the other ingredients.
  6. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the second slice of whole wheat bread on top of the arugula, pressing gently to hold everything together. Cut the sandwich in half for easy eating.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Your Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich is ready to be enjoyed immediately—fresh, nutritious, and delicious.
