Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf whole-grain focaccia bread
- 4 tablespoons hummus
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.5 avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil.
Slice the whole-grain focaccia bread horizontally into two equal halves, then cut each half into two equal portions, resulting in four sandwich pieces. Toast the bread on the grill pan for 2-3 minutes until lightly crispy and golden.
While the bread is toasting, thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Set aside.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread one tablespoon of hummus on each piece of toasted focaccia bread.
Layer the baby spinach leaves evenly over two of the focaccia pieces, followed by the sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly on top of the vegetable layers.
Place the remaining focaccia pieces on top to complete the sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy a healthy, low-calorie veggie focaccia sandwich!
