Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 3 tablespoons hummus
- 0.5 avocado
- 0.5 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 cup cucumber
- 0.25 cup shredded carrots
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper
- 2 slices vegan deli slices (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Start by toasting the whole-grain bread slices to your desired level of crispiness.
2. While the bread is toasting, prepare your vegetables: thinly slice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and shred the carrots if not pre-shredded.
3. Once the bread is toasted, spread 1.5 tablespoons of hummus evenly on each slice of the bread.
4. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and spread it over one of the hummus-covered bread slices for added creaminess.
5. Layer the sandwich with baby spinach, cucumber slices, shredded carrots, red bell pepper slices, and vegan deli slices if using.
6. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the layered vegetables for extra flavor.
7. Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, hummus-side down, and gently press it together.
8. Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately!
