This Mediterranean sandwich is one of my favorite go to lunches when I want something fresh and filling. It is incredibly simple to put together and feels like a little treat in the middle of a busy day.

My best tip for this recipe is to use the best quality bread you can find. A nice sourdough or a crusty ciabatta really makes a big difference when you are piling on all those delicious vegetables and creamy cheese.

🧺 Ingredients

2 slices of hearty bread
2 tablespoons basil pesto
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
2 slices of tomato
1/4 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
Optional drizzle of balsamic glaze

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Lay your bread slices out on a clean cutting board.
2
Spread a generous layer of basil pesto on the inside of both bread slices.
3
Start building your sandwich by adding the spinach, followed by the tomato slices, cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion.
4
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the vegetables.
5
Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze if you like a touch of sweetness.
6
Place the second slice of bread on top and cut your sandwich in half to serve.

💡 Tips

If you are packing this for work, keep the pesto in a separate container and add it right before eating to prevent the bread from getting soggy. You can also store leftovers in the fridge for a few hours, but these are best enjoyed fresh.
