There is nothing quite like a fresh veggie sandwich when you want a light but satisfying meal. I love how the creamy avocado pairs with the crisp cucumbers and peppers to create a bite that feels both refreshing and filling.

My top tip for this recipe is to toast your bread slightly before assembling. It adds a nice texture and keeps the sandwich from getting soggy if you plan to pack it for later.

🧺 Ingredients

2 slices of whole grain bread
1/2 ripe avocado
2 tablespoons hummus or cream cheese
4 slices of cucumber
2 slices of tomato
1/4 red bell pepper sliced into strips
1 small handful of fresh baby spinach
1 teaspoon lemon juice
A pinch of salt and black pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Lightly toast the bread slices until they are golden brown.
2
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3
Spread a layer of hummus or cream cheese on one slice of bread.
4
Spread the mashed avocado mixture onto the other slice of bread.
5
Layer the spinach, tomato, cucumber, and bell pepper onto the hummus side.
6
Close the sandwich, cut it in half, and enjoy your meal.

💡 Tips

To prevent the bread from softening, place the spinach leaves directly against the bread as a barrier. You can store leftover avocado by keeping the pit in the flesh and wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap in the fridge.
