Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1/3 cup classic hummus
- 1/4 large English cucumber thinly sliced
- 1/4 small red onion very thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced red onion, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss and set aside for 5 minutes to lightly pickle and soften the sharp flavor of the onion.
- While the onion pickles, toast the two slices of sourdough bread in a toaster until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Spread the hummus evenly onto one side of each piece of toasted bread, using the full 1/3 cup divided between them.
- Layer the thinly sliced cucumber and shredded carrots over the hummus on one slice of bread.
- Drain any excess liquid from the pickled onions and scatter them evenly over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped mint leaves over the other slice of bread, then drizzle with the 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of black pepper.
- Carefully press the two prepared slices of bread together to form a sandwich, hummus-side in, pressing down gently so the ingredients adhere.
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally with a sharp serrated knife for easier serving.
