Ingredients

• 2 pieces Whole-grain bread slices
• 2 tablespoons Hummus (low-fat)
• 0.25 pieces Cucumber
• 0.5 pieces Tomato
• 0.25 pieces Red onion
• 0.5 units Carrot
• 0.5 cups Spinach leaves (fresh)
• 0.25 cups Alfalfa sprouts
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt
• 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of carrot or grate it if preferred.

Step 2

Lightly toast the two slices of whole-grain bread for added texture and flavor. Allow them to cool slightly to avoid sogginess.

Step 3

Spread 1 tablespoon of low-fat hummus evenly on each slice of toasted bread.

Step 4

On one slice of hummus-covered bread, layer the sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.

Step 5

Add the grated or peeled carrot strips, followed by the fresh spinach leaves and alfalfa sprouts.

Step 6

Drizzle the lemon juice over the layered veggies and sprinkle the salt and ground black pepper for added flavor.

Step 7

Carefully place the second slice of bread on top, hummus side down, to complete the sandwich.

Step 8

Cut the sandwich diagonally for presentation if desired, and serve immediately.
