Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole-grain bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Hummus (low-fat)
- 0.25 pieces Cucumber
- 0.5 pieces Tomato
- 0.25 pieces Red onion
- 0.5 units Carrot
- 0.5 cups Spinach leaves (fresh)
- 0.25 cups Alfalfa sprouts
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of carrot or grate it if preferred.
Lightly toast the two slices of whole-grain bread for added texture and flavor. Allow them to cool slightly to avoid sogginess.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat hummus evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
On one slice of hummus-covered bread, layer the sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Add the grated or peeled carrot strips, followed by the fresh spinach leaves and alfalfa sprouts.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the layered veggies and sprinkle the salt and ground black pepper for added flavor.
Carefully place the second slice of bread on top, hummus side down, to complete the sandwich.
Cut the sandwich diagonally for presentation if desired, and serve immediately.
