I had a couple of veggie sandwiches at the hospital when I gave birth to our fourth child a few weeks ago (yay for babies!). It was one of the few vegetarian options on the menu. Since then I've been craving these bad boys and perfecting the recipe to pack a little more nutritional punch. The hospital version came on a croissant with mayo, mustard and an assortment of veggies. I make my version on organic whole wheat bread with hummus and avocado as condiments.
Ingredients:
whole wheat bread
hummus
1/2 avocado
sliced bell pepper
lettuce
purple onion
sprouts
Spread a thick layer of hummus on each half of the bread and layer vegetables.
I change up the veggies according to what I have on hand or what I'm in the mood for. Other favorites are spinach, sliced tomato, olives and mushrooms. This is a VERY filling sandwich. I started out making a full sandwich but could rarely finish it so I began making a half with a small side {usually a piece of fruit}.
