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.
TIP: Make sure to use sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. You can easily find sun-dried tomatoes in oil at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s.
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.

Ingredients
- Whole-Grain Bread: I love Dave’s Killer Bread 21 Whole Grain – it’s the best bread – so good and healthy. You can get a 2-pack at Costco for $8, else check out Whole Foods.
- Avocado: Mash the avocado and season with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped green chilies.
- Lemon Juice: You’ll need freshly squeezed lemon juice for the avocado. Lime juice also works.
- Green Chilies: You’ll need green chilies for the mashed avocado. You may also use serrano peppers.

- Fresh Veggies: Fresh Baby Spinach, Cucumbers, Tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes), Red Onions, and Jalapenos.

- Hummus: Store-bought hummus works great. I use Costco’s brand which is organic creamy hummus. Of course, you can always use homemade hummus.
