Ingredients

• 6 slices Low-sodium whole grain bread
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Unsalted hummus
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Cucumber
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Tomato
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
• 0.25 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 6 large Fresh basil leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Toast the 6 slices of low-sodium whole grain bread to your desired level of crispness.

Step 2

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, then mix in the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

Spread 2 tablespoons of unsalted hummus onto one side of two of the bread slices. This will act as the base layer for your sandwiches.

Step 4

On top of the hummus, layer a handful of fresh spinach leaves evenly across both slices.

Step 5

Add an even layer of thinly sliced cucumber, followed by thinly sliced tomato. Use about half the sliced cucumber and half the sliced tomato on each sandwich layer.

Step 6

Place 2-3 large basil leaves on top of the tomato slices for extra flavor.

Step 7

Top the basil layer with a few thin slices of red bell pepper and red onion for a bit of crunch and sweetness.

Step 8

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over two more slices of toasted bread, then place those slices (avocado side down) on top of the existing layers to form the middle layer of each sandwich.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process with the spinach, cucumber, tomato, basil, bell pepper, and onion, using the remaining vegetables to build the second layer.

Step 10

Finish by topping each sandwich with the last slice of toasted bread. You can spread a light layer of hummus or avocado on the top bread slice for extra flavor if desired.

Step 11

Cut each sandwich in half diagonally, secure with toothpicks if necessary, and serve immediately. Sprinkle lightly with black pepper if desired.
