AND…………
Veggie Loaded Sandwiches!!
What’s a picnic without a sandwich loaded with veggies! I love these because you can really pick and choose whatever you’d like for vegetables to top this beautiful sandwich. Roast the vegetables before you leave for your picnic, toast your bread, package it all up in a container and off you go!
What you’ll need to pack:
4 slices of bread
1 green pepper
1 small zucchini
1 small yellow squash
1 small tomato
2 oz of fresh mozzarella cheese
4 tbsp of hummus (your choice, I used roasted red pepper)
1/2 tbsp of horseradish
Sandwich Assembly:
Spread some horseradish on one slice of bread (you can omit this, I just like the extra kick!) Spread the hummus on top of that. Layer the veggies high, top with sliced cheese and another piece of bread!
This sandwich is super filling, you won’t need those unhealthy chips because this sandwich offers you the crunch from the toasted bread!
Heck yes! I love everything about this sammie 🙂
Nice break from meat sammies!
I would LOVE this! Now why don’t more folks bring dishes like this to picnics???
Thank you for the nice recipe.
You know what? Roasted veggie sandwiches WITH hummus as the spread are one of my all-time favorites! I definitely want these beauties in ALL of my picnic baskets, Tammi :).
I’m not sure what has me hooked more…the thick slab of mozzarella cheese or the hummus!
Roasted red pepper hummus is my all time favorite kind of hummus and I love the idea of loading a bunch of veggies in a sandwich! Such a perfect picnic food.
