Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Hummus
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 0.5 medium-sized Cucumber
- 0.5 medium-sized Tomato
- 0.25 large Avocado
- 3 ounces Cooked chicken breast (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Lay the two slices of whole-grain bread on a clean cutting board or plate.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each slice of bread to evenly cover one side.
Wash and pat dry the spinach leaves, then layer them evenly on one of the bread slices.
Slice the cucumber and tomato thinly. Arrange the slices over the spinach leaves to create an even layer.
Scoop out and thinly slice 1/4 of a large avocado. Spread the slices over the cucumber and tomato.
If using, shred or slice the cooked chicken breast into thin pieces and layer it evenly on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle the layers lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place the second slice of bread, hummus side down, on top of the layered ingredients to complete the sandwich.
Carefully cut the sandwich in half with a sharp knife for easier handling and serve immediately.
