Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 slices of whole grain or multigrain bread

Mixed Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (any color)

Cheese or Spread

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, hummus, or your preferred spread
  • Optional: 1-2 slices of cheddar or Swiss cheese

Greens

  • Handful of fresh spinach or lettuce leaves
  • Optional: Fresh basil or arugula leaves for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers into thin, even pieces. Shred the carrots finely for an easy-to-eat texture.
  2. Toast the bread (optional): Lightly toast the bread slices if desired to add a bit of crunch and prevent sogginess from the vegetables and spread.
  3. Apply the spread: Evenly spread your chosen cheese or spread onto one or both slices of bread. This adds flavor and helps hold the sandwich together.
  4. Layer the ingredients: Start by placing a layer of fresh greens on one slice of bread. Next, add the mixed vegetables evenly on top. If using slices of cheese, place them over the vegetables.
  5. Assemble the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread over the layered ingredients, spread side down if applicable.
  6. Serve fresh: Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and crisp textures.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based spreads and omit cheese or use vegan cheese substitutes.
  • Adding a pinch of salt, pepper, or herbs like oregano can enhance the flavor.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the vegetables and bread texture.
  • To make it more filling, add avocado slices or sprouts.
