Ingredients
Bread and Spread
- 4 slices of thick-cut sandwich bread
- 1/4 cup hummus
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped Peppadew peppers
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 large romaine lettuce leaf, chopped
- 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Small drizzle of honey (optional)
Instructions
- Spread hummus: Evenly spread a layer of hummus on one slice of the sandwich bread to create a flavorful base that also adds moisture.
- Assemble vegetables and cheese: On top of the hummus, layer the crumbled feta cheese, chopped Peppadew peppers, sliced cucumber, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, thinly sliced tomato, red onion, and chopped romaine lettuce, ensuring even coverage for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Close the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top of the layered ingredients to complete the sandwich.
- Optional honey glaze: If desired, lightly brush the edges of the bread crust with a small drizzle of honey to add a subtle hint of sweetness and a touch of stickiness to hold the sandwich together.
Notes
- The sandwich is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the vegetables and the creamy texture of the hummus and feta.
- Peppadew peppers add a sweet and mildly spicy flavor; substitute with roasted red peppers if unavailable.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free sandwich bread.
- The honey drizzle is optional and can be omitted for a strictly savory sandwich or to accommodate vegan diets.
- To add protein, consider adding grilled chicken or chickpeas.
