How to Make Veggie & Hummus Sandwich
A veggie and hummus sandwich makes a great fiber-rich, packable lunch. Here’s our standard formula plus a few variations to jazz it up.
1. The Bread
We prefer the nutty flavor andfiber-boosting benefitsof whole-grain bread for our veggie and hummus sandwich. And we like country bread or bread with a firm crust instead of sandwich bread, which has a softer texture, but either will work.
2. The Spreads
We use both hummus and mashed avocado as spreads for our sandwich. They help keep the veggies in place and also form a barrier between the bread and the veggies that helps prevent the bread from getting soggy. If you don’t have avocado, you can double up on the hummus or try whipped cream cheese (either plain or combined with basil or sun-dried tomato pesto). Just be sure to spread whatever you’re using over both slices of the bread. You can use regular hummus, or try a flavored hummus of your choice.

Can I Make Veggie & Hummus Sandwich Ahead?
Yes! This sandwich (or any variation of it) makes a perfect packable lunch. To make it ahead, assemble and refrigerate the sandwich for up to 4 hours or pack in a portable airtight container with a cooler pack for taking to work or school.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
