Ingredients
- 4 lices whole grain bread or multigrain

Instructions
- Lightly toast the bread slices if desired. This provides a bit of crunch and prevents the bread from getting soggy.
- Generously spread hummus on one side of each bread slice.
- Start by placing lettuce or salad greens on two of the bread slices. Follow with cucumber slices, bell pepper, carrot, avocado, and red onion. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper for seasoning. If using, add sprouts on top.
- If desired, drizzle a bit of olive oil or lemon juice over the veggies for extra flavor.
- Top each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, hummus side down.
- Cut each sandwich in half and enjoy immediately!

Notes
- Bread Choice Matters: Whole grain or multigrain bread not only adds nutritional value but also holds up well with the moist ingredients. For a softer sandwich, you can use white or sourdough bread.
- Hummus Varieties: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of hummus to change up the taste of your sandwich. Classic, roasted garlic, or red pepper hummus are all great choices.
- Veggie Flexibility: Use any combination of veggies you like or have on hand. This sandwich is great for using up leftover veggies in your fridge.
- Toasting is Optional: Toasting the bread adds crunch and prevents sogginess, but if you prefer a softer sandwich, you can skip this step.
- Season to Taste: A pinch of salt and pepper can enhance the flavors of your veggies. You can also add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs or spices.
