Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Hummus
- 0.5 whole Avocado
- 0.25 whole Cucumber
- 0.5 whole Tomato
- 0.25 whole Red onion
- 1 handful Fresh spinach
- 1 handful Alfalfa sprouts
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and set aside.
Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus on each slice of bread, covering it evenly.
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh of half the avocado and mash it gently with a fork. Spread the mashed avocado on one slice of bread, on top of the hummus layer.
Wash the cucumber, tomato, and spinach thoroughly. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds, the tomato into thin slices, and the red onion into thin rings.
Layer the cucumber slices evenly over the avocado spread on the bread slice. Follow with tomato slices and red onion rings.
Sprinkle the layered vegetables with salt and black pepper to taste, then drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Add a handful of fresh spinach and alfalfa sprouts on top of the vegetables.
Place the second slice of bread (hummus side down) on top of the layered ingredients to form a sandwich.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Joslin Center Veggie Sandwich!
