I’m obsessed with sundried tomatoes because it takes any dish to the next level be it pasta, chicken, rice, or even a simple sandwich like this one. I wanted to come up with a vegan summer sandwich recipe that’s easy to put together. I started recipe testing with hummus and chutney, and then threw in sun-dried tomatoes, and a bunch of veggies until I felt, okay, this is it!
What is a Vegan Hummus Sandwich with Sun-Dried Tomatoes?
Hummus Sandwich is an easy lunch made on whole-grain bread and is completely vegan. Trust me, you don’t need white or sourdough bread because this sandwich is the ultimate sandwich and packed with flavor. I combined the flavors from India, Italy, and the Mediterranean all into one mouthwatering sandwich using cilantro chutney, sun-dried tomatoes, and hummus respectively. To begin with toast two slices of bread. Spread hummus on one side and mashed avocado on the other side of the bread. Then add veggies such as baby spinach, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos for spice, and sun-dried tomatoes. Additionally, we will flavor the sandwich with cilantro chutney.
Substitutions
Leafy Greens – You may substitute chopped kale or arugula for spinach. Cilantro Chutney – Feel free to use Mint Chutney or Red Garlic Chutney. Regular Hummus – You may use Garlic Hummus or Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus. Don’t Like A Veggie – skip it, however, this will alter the flavor of the sandwich.
