Ingredients
To make this delicious sandwich, you’ll need a handful of fresh veggies, a scoop of hummus, and some bread. If you want to add some deli meat, grilled chicken, or a slice of cheese, then feel free to do that. Here is what I used:
- Thin-sliced multigrain bread – A hearty and wholesome bread that serves as the perfect base for this sandwich. I love the texture and flavor of multigrain, plus it adds a boost of fiber to your meal. (I LOVE this one from Dave’s Killer Bread.)
- Hummus – Smooth, creamy, and packed with plant-based protein, hummus brings bold flavor to this sandwich. I used lemon hummus for its bright, zesty taste, but any variety will work beautifully.
- Radish – Thinly sliced radishes add a peppery crunch that balances the creaminess of the hummus. Their vibrant color also brings a touch of brightness to your sandwich.
- Red onion – With its mild, slightly sweet flavor, red onion adds a savory bite to every layer. Thin slices ensure the flavor isn’t overpowering.
- Cucumber – Crisp and refreshing, cucumber brings a cool crunch to this sandwich. Its mild taste complements the other bold ingredients perfectly.
- Sprouts – These delicate greens pack a subtle earthy flavor and a burst of nutrition. They add both texture and visual appeal to the sandwich.
- Spinach – Tender, leafy spinach gives a fresh, slightly sweet taste while adding a pop of green. It’s also a great way to sneak in extra nutrients.
- Salt and pepper to taste – A simple sprinkle of salt and pepper enhances all the flavors, tying everything together for the perfect bite.
For the veggies, consider using a mix of different colors and textures for added flavor and nutrition. While these are the ingredients I happen to love, feel free to choose what you enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of hummus?
Yes, totally! I used lemon hummus which is a personal favorite, but you can definitely mix it up with different flavors like garlic, roasted red pepper, or even spicy hummus. I tried the sandwich with jalapeño hummus but kept going back for the lemon.
How do I pick the best bread for this sandwich?
Choose a bread that is sturdy enough to hold all the fillings without falling apart. I LOVE any of the thin-sliced loaves of bread from Dave’s Killer Bread. They are low in calories and big in flavor.
Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
Yes. Be aware that the tomato could add a little sogginess to your sandwich. To avoid this, you can scrap out the seeds. Since I work from home, I typically just have all of my veggies prepped so I can quickly make the sandwich when I’m ready for lunch or dinner.
How can I make this sandwich more filling?
If you’re looking to make this sandwich more filling, try adding some protein like grilled chicken, deli meat, tofu, or falafel. You could also add more veggies or a side salad to round out the meal.

This sounds delicious. I haven’t seen lemon hummus, but it sounds like the perfect hummus for this. A couple of slices of crisp bacon would add some nice flavor to this as bacon goes nicely with all of the veggies you used, which seem like the perfect line up for this sandwich. I would say I’m on board with your delicious lunch idea. Thanks!
