Although I now eat meat, vegetarian sandwiches will always be my favorite. Without even thinking about it, I seek out the vegetarian options at sandwich shops every single time. Always have, probably always will.
Add a delicious bread with texture from grains and seeds, and you have the perfect duo. You could also make this sandwich into a wrap or try my Greek Veggie Wrap recipe which has a similar flavor profile.
This recipe for Spinach Sandwich is a mash up of a few of my favorite vegetarian sandwiches from several different places.
Why This Recipe Works
This is a Mediterranean sandwich recipe made with hummus, roasted red peppers, and feta cheese. Its simple to make and packs well.
Tip: if you plan to use this for meal prep, I recommend packing the hummus separately so that the bread doesn’t get soggy.
This is a sandwich you can feel good about eating. Spinach is a superfood that is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, while a 1/2 cup of red peppers provides 300% of your daily intake of vitamin C.
How To Make A Spinach Sandwich
What You Need To Make This Recipe
To make this recipe you will need:
- 2 slices of bread (I prefer a grain or seed bread for added texture and heartiness but you can use whatever you like)
- 2 tablespoons hummus
- 1 tablespoon feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup of raw spinach
- 1/2 cup of roasted red peppers
The entire recipe and instructions can also be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can also print the recipe from the card, if needed.
Prep!
If you are roasting your own peppers, you’ll want to do that ahead of time.
If you are using jarred roasted red peppers, remove them from the jar and set on a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry some.
Create!
Spread the hummus onto both slices of bread.
Sprinkle the feta crumbles onto one side and stack the spinach and roasted red peppers onto the other side.
Close the two sides together.
Present!
Cut in half and enjoy.
