- Prepare the Bread: Lightly toast the bread if you prefer a crunchier sandwich.
- Add the Spread: Spread a generous layer of hummus or mayo (or both) on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer the Veggies: Start with the avocado slices, lightly mashing them onto the bread if desired. Layer on the cucumber slices, tomato, shredded carrots, red onion, and sprouts. Add the mixed greens on top.
- Optional Add-ons: If using cheese, roasted peppers, or artichokes, layer them in at this stage.
- Season: Sprinkle the veggies with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
- Assemble and Serve: Top with the second slice of bread. Press gently to hold the sandwich together. Slice in half and serve immediately with your favorite side (chips, fruit, or a salad).
Tips:
- For extra crunch, add thinly sliced radishes or pickled veggies.
- If you love a tangy kick, drizzle a little balsamic glaze or add a smear of Dijon mustard.
