Bite into a deliciously chewy vegan bagel sandwich infused with Mediterranean baba ganoush, crisp cucumber, rich sun-dried tomatoes and spicy arugula. Protein rich and delightfully nutritious, your lunchtime options just got a whole lot tastier.
Ingredients
- 4 bagel
- 1/4 batch baba ganoush
- 1/2 cucumber sliced
- a handful arugula
- 1/2 cup or 30 g sun-dried tomatoes drained, in oil
- parsley optional, a few leaves, fresh
Instructions
- Cut the bagels lengthwise and toast if desired. Spread baba ganoush onto the bottom part of the bagel.
- Layer the bottom part of the bagel with fresh cucumbers, arugula and drained sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Top with the upper half of the bagel. Enjoy!
Notes
- Toast your bagel for more crunch.
- This bagel sandwich can be made the night before. Just place in a container and keep cool in the fridge for up to one day.
- Make cute mini-versions of this sandwich for a party or a picnic by using mini-bagels.
- Serve it with a side of chips, salad, cut veggies, or soup of your choice. Serve leftover baba ganoush as a dip.
- Try any of these spreads instead of baba ganoush: Hummus, tahini, Vegan Cashew Mayo or Vegan Tofu Ricotta.
- Mix up your veggies and try filling your Mediterranean sandwich with these options: Grilled zucchini, eggplant or peppers, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, sprouts (ie. alfalfa, radish, green-leaf), avocado, dill pickles.
- You can substitute baby spinach for arugula.
- Use toast bread instead of bagels.
